The Zhanaiskoye site
The Zhanaiskoye site is located in the Ulytau district of the Karaganda region, 20 km south-west of Satpayev town.
Work on the Zhanaiskoye site is carried out at the expense of the state budget.
The main task of the design work is to conduct exploration work on the Zhanaiskoye site within the Zhezkazgan depression in order to assess the forecast resources of the P1 and P2 categories, preliminary geological and economic assessment and justification of further exploration work.
In 2021, “Kazgeology” JSC for the first time during the period of exploration works, carries out the drilling of deep wells at the Zhanaiskoye site with the Atlas Copco Boyles C6 drilling unit.
To date, one of two wells has been drilled with a depth of 1000 r.m. The well has opened the ore-bearing stratum of the Taskudukskyi formation, from a depth of 678 m, which is represented by sandstones, siltstones and gray-green conglomerates, where sulfide mineralization of pyrite and chalcopyrite is visually observed in separate intervals.
The prospects of the Zhanaiskoye site will be clear based on the results of laboratory studies and works.
