Abstract

Analysis of the available information and the results of many years of research on gold deposits in Uzbekistan made it possible to identify the main unconventional types of deposits. Among them, the most interesting are apocarbonate, crustal, sulfide-carbonaceous and apovolcanogenic quartzite (Upper-Kattakashkasai ore occurrence). The apocarbonate type is widespread in Uzbekistan, has been studied in sufficient detail and information is provided on it in this article. The article examines the existence, distribution and genesis of ores of Karlin type gold deposits. The generalizing characteristics of the Karlin type gold mineralization are given. The issues of geochemical specialization of the Paleozoic strata of the Chakylkalyan megablock are considered, the most favorable stratolevel for the localization of mineralized zones is determined, and the features of carbonate rocks in the process of gold deposition during reactions with silicic solutions are characterized. Based on the materials of regional geochemical profiling, the behavior of the main ore-forming elements in the rocks of both carbonate and volcanogenic-terrigenous strata is analyzed. As a result of the analysis, subclarkic contents of the main ore-forming elements (As, Co, Ni, Pb, Cu, Ag, V, Cr, Sc) were revealed, which create increased concentrations in gold-bearing pyrites of both apocarbonate gold mineralization and related formations.
