Microscopic study reflected light SEM–EDS (Scanning Electron Microscope—Energy Dispersive Spectrometer) analysis, well chemical diversity used INAA (Instrumental Neutron Activation...

Ophiolites are remnants of oceanic crust that have been thrust onto continental due to tectonic processes. They composed mostly mafic and ultramafic rocks, which genetically associated with gold, silver, platinum group element (PGE), chrome, manganese, titanium, cobalt, copper, nickel deposits. The main objective this research was identify the spatial distribution Mesozoic ophiolitic complexes within Central Afghan Block in Middle Afghanistan using optical remote sensing data spectral...

Purpose. Assessment of the effectiveness using method radio-wave geointoscopy inter-well space for three-dimensional mapping zone leaching solution actual propagation in process uranium mining by underground leaching. Methods. Experimental-industrial studies are conducted at technological block 68 Semizbay deposit (Kazakhstan). In experimental studies, special equipment is used conducting geointoscopy. Inter-well measurements performed RVGI-06 equipment. The observations a fan pattern within...

In this paper, the geological conditions of accumulation and material composition ore tailings from processing plants Kazakhstan were studied. The results studying unused are presented. Accumulated studied on natural exposures materials cartographic wells. three tailing dumps Zhezkazgan enrichment plant, after processing, more than 1.2 billion tons accumulated in form effluent pulp, which about 1 two inactive dumps, third dump is operational. When content main copper component 0.1-0.3%,...

Total reserves in tails enrichment factories account for about 1.0 billion tons, and they contain copper, lead, zinc precious metals. Therefore such tailings can be considered a major technological company reliable source of raw materials to build processing company. We have studied the conditions distribution storage from plants. Microscopic description material gave following data. Chalcopyrite prevalent among copper minerals covellite is most common second place, rare chalcocite, bornite,...

Land use/land cover (LULC) changes significantly impact spatiotemporal groundwater levels, posing a challenge for sustainable water resource management. This study investigates the long-term (2000–2022) influence of LULC dynamics, particularly urbanization, on depletion in Kabul, Afghanistan, using geospatial techniques. A time series Landsat imagery (Landsat 5, 7 ETM+, and 8 OLI/TIRS) was employed to generate maps five key years (2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2022) supervised classification...

The article is devoted to the study of geoheritage objects and scientific justification for creation a geopark in Ulytau region Central Kazakhstan. This largest copper-bearing province world has unique natural cultural heritage. Purpose article: show tourist significance potential Geopark. geological history this area tells about no less than 500 million years planet's development. Geological, historical sacred make an extremely interesting object development geotourism geoparks as...
