TOMSK, Jun 7 – RIA Tomsk. Scientists of Tomsk State University (TSU) will help the mining company Kazzinc to find new deposits of polymetallic ores in the territory of Kazakhstan, the press service of the university said on Wednesday.
With reference to the director of the Analytical Center for Geochemistry of Natural Systems TSU Platon Tishin it is reported that the deposit of ore, which is easy to reconnoiter, has been mastered for a long time, and the world began a second wave of searches. The object of attention of Kazzinc is the Rudny Altai, located mainly in the East Kazakhstan region, where the active search for ore was stopped in the 1980s, and the results of the work were archived.
"(Scientists of the university) have already investigated more than 5 thousand meters of core. In the near future geologists will study mineral composition and features of the structure of the ore. Along with this, scientists will have to work with archival data. Once it ends, geologists will prompt Kazzinc specialists, which raw materials contains the subsoil of East Kazakhstan and describe the features of the strata bedding", – the press service reports.
It is explained that a joint group of specialists of the Department of Mineralogy and Geochemistry of TSU Faculty of Geology and Geography and the Center of Geochemistry of Natural Systems work on the project. They will develop a legend (unified nomenclature and data system) which will allow to recover a large part of the archived data and use it.The press service notes that a large scientific base created by the scientists of TSU, which were pioneers in the study of the Rudny Altai, helps to accomplish the work of geologists.
