Having at its disposal a sufficiently high scientific potential, material and technical base and a wide network of scientific and industrial relations both in the republic and abroad, the institute effectively performs a wide range of tasks in the field of geological research and in solving topical issues of subsoil and applied science.

In summary, the following important results have been achieved:

In the direction of "comprehensive regional research and preparation of modern multi- purpose geological, predictive-metallogenic maps":

1) 8 digital geological maps of the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan were created in Uzbek and Russian languages on a scale of 1: 1,000,000 (Map of registration of mineral deposits, geological map, tectonic map of pre-Mesozoic components, predictive mineralogical map of pre-Mesozoic formations);

2) on the basis of formational analysis by mathematical methods, a “Prognostic and mineralogical map of the Chatkal-Kuramin region for precious, non-ferrous, radioactive, ferrous metals on a scale of 1: 200,000 using information technologies” was compiled, on the basis of which 14 promising deposits were identified at the level of ore fields and ore formation zones recommended for further exploration;

3) updated electronic “Geological map of the Chatkal-Kuramin region at a scale of 1:200,000” in the ArcGIS system;

4) an updated package of regulatory documents regulating the development and presentation of digital geological maps has been prepared:

- "organization and development of geological survey work, on a scale of 1:50,000 (1:25,000)" instructions for compiling and publishing the State Geological Map of the Republic of Uzbekistan;

- “1:200,000 (1:100,000) additional geological surveys of previously studied areas on a scale of 1:200,000 (1:100,000) instructions for compiling and preparing for publication sheets of the State Geological Map of the Republic of Uzbekistan;

- "Instruction for the organization and production of aerospace geological research (AKGT) of the Republic of Uzbekistan";

- "Instructions for organizing work on deep geological mapping of the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan";

5) a “geodynamic map of the Tien Shan orogenic zone on a scale of 1: 1,000,000” was compiled, located on the territory of five states: Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.

Modern methods and GIS technologies for remote sensing of the Earth, the latest programs for processing geochemical information, etc. to identify new mineral deposits that are promising for the search for mineral deposits using:

1) new promising deposits of gold and other metals: Guzaksay, Tsekhan-Gozgan, Vostochny Dzhetymtov, Dzhuduk, Armugon, Buzgul, Okzhetpes, Oyasoy, Chuloksay, Yulasai, Tugmacha, Karakol, Chelpeksay-I, Chelpeksay-II, northeastern part of Muruntau ore deposit, etc.;

2) since 2012, the state balance has been formed and such mineral resources of the authors as gold, silver, copper, tungsten, rare metals and rare earth elements are being re-examined. According to the predicted resources, 242 objects were processed, of which 147 were taken into account by the State balance and 24 objects were recommended for accounting by the State balance of forecast resources of solid minerals of the Republic of Uzbekistan;

4) 7 new deposits have been identified (Yulasoyskoye, Southern Dalniy I, Southern Dalniy II, Pugmacha, Karachal, Chelpeksoy-I, Chelpeksoy-II), which are united into a single West Chadak territory, and the estimated gold resources for them are estimated at P2 category.

In the field of geological exploration regulatory support governing the conduct of geological exploration work on the territory of the Republic of Uzbekistan:

Designed:

1) "Regulations on the state commission of the State Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan on geology and mineral resources for mineral reserves";

2) "Regulations on the procedure for accounting for reserves and forecast resources and assessing operational growth";

3) “Instruction on the composition, procedure for processing and submitting materials for accounting for reserves of metallic and non-metallic minerals to the State Commission for Mineral Reserves under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan”;

4) "Guidelines for conducting technological studies of non-ferrous metal deposits in the exploration process";

5) "Methodological guide for assessing the predicted resources of solid minerals";

6) "Regulations on the stages and stages of geological exploration of oil and gas";

7) "Classification of deposits, prospective and predicted resources of oil and combustible gases";

8) "Instruction for the application of the classification of reserves and prospects for oil and gas resources";

9) “Instruction on the composition, execution and procedure for submitting materials on accounting for oil and combustible gas reserves under the State Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan to the commission on mineral reserves”.

In the field of development and introduction into production of modern technologies for the complex processing of mineral raw materials:

1) a technological scheme for enrichment of titanomagnetite ores of the Tebinbulak deposit was developed, according to which an iron-containing concentrate with an iron content of 63.53% is obtained, the enrichment of which yields 62.45% of iron;

2) a destructive shale processing technology has been developed.

3) a technology has been developed for the production of bacterial fertilizers with long-acting organic-mineral humus based on coal waste.

4) a biotechnological method for bleaching kaolin from the Angren deposit was developed with the conversion of iron into soluble compounds and their removal during extraction and filtration of the solution.

5) as a result of the enrichment of quartz sands of Kokayaz, quartz sands were obtained with a content of silicon dioxide of 99.06%, iron oxide of 0.01% and Al2O3 - 0.1%.
