INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES OF MINERAL RESOURCES PREDICTIOIN ON COVERED TERRITORIES.

Currently, to replenish mineral resources of Kazakhstan, the discovery of mineral deposits in areas covered by Cenozoic deposits is important. They are located quite deep. The forecast of such minerals requires the creation of a reliable scientific base and the use of innovative cosmogeological research methods. The geotectonic structure and geodynamics of the Paleozoic and Proterozoic basement of the territory of Kazakhstan is now successfully explained from the position of the conventional plume tectonics. In accordance with it and the latest actual data of field geological studies, geosuture zones of ring morphology are distinguished. These zones were active during the Paleozoic and characterized by peculiar tectonic-magmatic features that are important for the localization of mineralization. Remote sensing data was used to isolate prospective areas for mineral resources in such zones. According to the interpretation of space images, linear, ring and areal ore-controlling factors have been identified, which are shown in cosmic- structural geological schemes. For the favorable combination of orecontrolling factors and on the basis of the analysis of geological data, for successful exploration and evaluation work, prognostic areas have been allocated. The practical implementation of the innovative technologies for the forecast of minerals developed by us was carried out on a new area of Eastern Balkhash. This area is located within the second ring geosuture zone of the plume-tectonic geodynamic zoning of the Paleozoids of Kazakhstan. On prospective areas identified in the cosmostructural scheme, prospecting projects have been composed to assess geological conditions and mineral resources. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
