Abstract:
Large reserves of minerals that ensure the growth of basic sectors of the economy are located in Uzbekistan. Therefore, there is a need to characterize the deposit to utilize it for commercial use. To solve these problems, Uzbekistan, in cooperation with developed countries and authoritative international organizations, is implementing many promising projects. Also, there are two main genetic varieties of ores: hydrothermal-sedimentary and hydrothermal-metasomatic. The first group includes most of the continuous layer-like and lenticular ore bodies of small thickness (0.2-2 m), but of considerable length. Its total proven reserves are about 1.5 million tons of zinc, 700 thousand tons of lead, 180 thousand tons of copper and 2.3 thousand tons of silver.
