This article presents the results of a mineralogical and geochemical study of the Kayragach epithermal gold deposit, which is
located on the northern slopes of the Kurama Range and possesses unique geological and mineralogical features. Furthermore, it
provides a detailed characterization of the mid- to late-Carboniferous volcanogenic-sedimentary and subvolcanic complexes of
andesite-dacite and liparite formations, as well as the Permian plutonic dike complexes of various compositions that constitute the
ore field.
