2. Background of the group of Terek deposits
3. The gold deposits Terekkan, Perevalnoe and gold-and-antimony deposit Terek (except for the block 17) are located on the territory of Chatkal district of Jalal-Abad region, in the middle bed of the Tereksai river – the left tributary of the Kassansai river, at absolute altitude of 1500-2400 meters.
4. The distance to the nearest village, the district center Kanysh-Kiya, is 47 km. This section of the way is represented with a mountain dirt road. The road has an asphalt covering from the village Kanysh-Kiya. The distance to the city of Osh is 370 km, to Jalal-Abad - 240 km. The nearest railway stations in Kyrgyzstan are the Tash Kumyr and Shamaldy-Sai – on the distance of about 160 km.
No fuel resources are available in the area. Mining industry and geologic exploration are provided with the imported fuel and timber.
Directly on the deposit area there operates the “Tereksai Mine” affiliate of the open joint stock company “Kyrgyzaltyn”. The mine is supplied with electric power from the district mains of the “Shekaftar” substation (35 km). Its production capacity is 60 - 80 thousand tons of ore per year. The water supply of the mine is carried out from the Tereksai River, with a flow rate of 2.5 m3/sec.
5. The gold deposit Terekkan was discovered in 1934, the gold-antimony deposit Terek - in 1941. The exploration of the Terek deposit has been performed in 1942 - 1955 years.
The deposit has been exploited by the Tereksai mine of Kadamjay antimony plant since 1950 to 2001. The exploration works has been performed on the deposit Terekkan since 1956 to 1969. Along with the Terekkan there has been explored the Mezhplastovoe gold orebody in the Southern area of the Terek deposit.
The gold deposit Perevalnoe and the area “Dalniy” of the Terek deposit have been explored in detail in 1980 - 1984. The gold reserves at the Perevalnoe deposit have been explored and approved.
6. Terek deposit, Mezhplastovoe orebody. The industrial mineralization type belongs to quartz-carbonate-sulphide. The ore bodies are tabular with easy gradient (25° - 45°). The reserves of the Mezhplastovoe orebody at adit levels have been worked out by the “Tereksai Mine” affiliate of the open joint stock company “Kyrgyzaltyn”.The remaining balance reserves below the adit levels are opened by the exploring-and-producing mine, passed by the open joint stock company “Kadamzhay antimony plant” in 1990. This mine mostly opens the antimony reserves of the Terek antimony deposit. The remaining reserves of the Mezhplastovoe orebody are structurally located above the antimony orebodies and simultaneously opened by the “exploring-and-producing mine”.
7. The Terekkan deposit belongs to the veined geological-and-industrial type; the ore-bearing rocks are the quartz-feldspar-mica schists. The orebodies are of lensoid and columnar shape. The oxidation zone extends to a depth of 30 m from the surface. The ore contains arsenic up to 4.73%, in oxidized - 6.44% and
sulphide - 4%.
8. The Perevalnoe deposit belongs to the 3rd group of complexity. The industrial mineralization type is veined, the ore formation is gold-antimony. The genesis of mineralization is hydrothermal. The balance orebodies are of abrupt lensoid shape. Gold content in sulphide - 85.7% and free - 2.8%, the recovery to float concentrate - 87.2%, arsenic content in ore – 0.98-1.95%, in the concentrate recovered 86.9% and its content in concentrate is 3.02 - 4.11%. The oxidation zone is traced to a depth of 30 m from the surface. The objects are completely prepared for development. Technological properties of ore have been studied; the geological maps of scale 1:10000, 1:5000 and 1:1000 have been compiled.
