Abstract:

Purpose. The research is aimed at creating a high-quality geophysical basis for the additional geological study of Central Kazakhstan in determining the geological structure of the study area, identifying promising areas for further geological exploration, as well as analyzing the anomalous distribution of various minerals.

Methodology. The research uses the methods of aeromagnetic, airborne gamma-ray spectrometry and gravimetric (ground) surveys. The obtained new airborne geophysical data are used for additional study of the geological structure of the district and the creation of a model of the geological structure of the study area. Gamma-ray spectrometry data analysis is conducted for detailed mapping of intrusive complexes and study of their lithological heterogeneity.

Findings. The processing and interpretation of the materials of the conducted field studies in combination with the results of the geological-geophysical data analysis made it possible to refine the geological structure and to present a model of ore-prospecting complexes in the study area. Areas with an anomalous distribution of potassium, uranium, and thorium have been identified, which make it possible to assess the structural heterogeneity of hidden magmatic massifs and to reveal a connection with gold, copper-polymetallic and rare-metal mineralization. Recommendations for further detailed geological exploration, including prospecting-exploration drilling, are given.

Originality. Research has shown the high efficiency of airborne geophysical methods, such as aeromagnetic and airborne gamma-ray spectrometry surveys to study the geological structure of ore areas, and in combination with detailed gravimetric exploration to identify lithological heterogeneity of igneous and sedimentary rocks in the study area. New scientific-methodological techniques and the geological structure model based on them gave an opportunity to assess the prospect of the study area for ore mineralization.

Practical value. The identified promising areas for mining of minerals are of interest for further research and exploration. The integrated use of geological-geophysical data will make it possible to determine more precisely the nature of radioactive anomalies and to reveal their relationship with ore-prospecting horizons. In general, the research results contribute to increasing the efficiency and reducing the geological survey costs.
