THE MAIN TASKS OF THE DEPARTMENT

Development of geologic-geochemical models for the creation of a system of geochemical criteria for forecasting, prospecting and mining of mineral objects at various stages.

Conducting experimental-methodological work in specific regions of Uzbekistan for the application of appropriate geochemical methods of search and various landscape-geochemical and geological-structural conditions, testing optimal networks, sampling technologies, analytical methods;

Improving estimates of forecast resources of solid minerals based on geochemical information;

Improving the pedictive assessment of solid mineral resources based on geochemical data;

Approbation and implementation of modern technologies for automated processing of geochemical materials;

Methodological support and support of geochemical research in territorial expeditions, examination of reporting and project documents, curatorial activities.

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH CONDUCTED IN THE DEPARTMENT

State. budget project "Analysis of the metallogenic potential of the regions and identification of new promising areas"

Contract project “Conducting geochemical and mineralogical studies of platinum group metals (PGM) of another mineralization of the Kospaktau site (Auminzatau Mountains)”

Contract project "Computer processing of geochemical material and identification of promising positions for gold mineralization of the Kumboskan prospective area"

Contract project "Computer processing of geochemical material and identification of promising positions for gold mineralization of the Lolazor area"

Grant project "Geochemical zoning and prospects for gold mineralization in the border areas of the Republics of Uzbekistan (deposits Akata, Akba, Shirotnoye, etc.) and Tajikistan (deposits Shing, Konchoch, Gijdarva, etc.) in the central part of the Zarafshan Range)"

At the moment, the analysis and systematization of the available stock materials on research, geochemical, prospecting and prospecting and evaluation, regional and other types of previously conducted work is being carried out to involve the information received in processing to compile a cartogram of geochemical exploration for individual mining regions of the Republic of Uzbekistan from the selection of contours of the most promising areas on a geological basis at a scale of 1:500,000 in GIS format.

A cartogram of geochemical knowledge will be drawn up in order to assess the geochemical knowledge of specific areas, to refine and draw the contours of geochemical surveys and other works, as well as to determine the coverage of a particular territory by retrospective geochemical works and the location in their contours of areas previously identified promising according to geochemical data.

RESEARCH RESULTS

As part of the study, work was carried out to study the possibility of sampling in the underground mines of the Western Daugystau deposit. Here, in agreement with the chief geologists of the deposits, high-precision samples were taken in productive intervals and processed with high quality.

Results of fulfilling the set geological tasks: a list of prospective areas and objects for gold and other mineralization was compiled and reasonable recommendations were prepared on the organization of geological exploration; A list of promising deposits and mines of gold and other metals for exploration and processing by attracting foreign investment has been compiled.

It is planned that the recommended prospective areas will be further involved in industrial processing and will serve to further increase the potential of our country in gold and other mineral raw materials.

Two lists of promising gold mining sites in Western Uzbekistan have been compiled to attract foreign investors.

The degree of geological prospecting, geophysical and geochemical knowledge of the southeastern part of the South Nurotinsky mountains and the Shavaz-Dukent region of the Chotkal ridge has been studied in detail. During these preparatory works, the geological structure of the site and signs of mineral control were clarified. In areas where geochemical forecasting methods are used, promising areas have been identified on the scale of a mining region. The materials were submitted to the Ministry of Innovation.
