The staff of the department "Forecasting of ore minerals" is currently carrying out large-scale work on the development of an updated multi-purpose geochemical map of Southern Uzbekistan and the Malguzar Mountains on a scale of 1: 100,000 based on modern analytical methods and rational technologies for their implementation.

Based on the results of office work and processing of geochemical data, a new structural basis of the Malguzar Mountains was compiled. This basis will be used to build geochemical anomalies.

A sublatitudinal North-Malguzar mineralized zone has been identified, which splits further to the east into the Dzhalair and Chillya-Mazar mineralized zones.

When analyzing the distribution of concentrates of the maximum anomalous contents of Au, Ag, Te, As, Pb, Zn, Sb, Bi, Se, Cu, Mo, In, Cd within the primary and secondary halo-geochemical fields on a new structural basis within the North In the Malguzar mineralized zone, areas of 5 promising sites (Ravatsky, Barassky, Kudukchinsky, Bayatsky, Alabukinsky) are planned for the discovery of gold and associated complex mineralization.

In the south of the area (Malguzar Mountains), the Kattasai mineralized zone, previously identified by previous researchers, is expanded in thickness. In the northeastern extension of this zone, the potentially promising area Severo-Uryuklinsky was identified. This area is identified by elevated mercury content, which is an indicator of deep-seated gold mineralization.

This work will significantly supplement the data of previously created forecast-metallogenic maps, contributing to the identification of new promising areas in the search for mineral deposits.
