The purpose of the project:
Scientific substantiation of the prospects for developing the mineral potential of lithium-bearing brines of the Shu-Sarysu depression for development of the lithium industry in Kazakhstan.
Project objectives:
Collection, compilation and analysis of factual data, unpublished reports and analytical materials about the natural lithium-bearing brines occurrences in the Shu-Sarysu depression.
Regional hydrogeochemical studies to identify and assess the hydrogeochemical parameters of natural lithium-bearing brines of various types and genesis in the Shu-Sarysu depression.
Compilation of a geo-information database of the natural lithium-bearing brines occurrences in the territory of the Shu-Sarysu depression.
Development and generation of thematic maps and cartographic models of the distribution of natural lithium-bearing brines in the Shu-Sarysu depression.
Analysis and evaluation of forecast resources, geological and economic assessment of the development of promising natural lithium-bearing brines occurrences in the territory of the Shu-Sarysu depression.
Development of recommendations on technologies for the extraction of lithium, other rare alkali metals and halogen elements from natural brines of the Shu-Sarysu depression, as well as on the disposal of waste brines.
The scientific novelty of the grant project lies in the formation of a geo-information database of the natural lithium-bearing brines occurrences on the territory of the Shu-Sarysu depression and the generation of thematic maps and cartographic models of their distriution.
The grant research outcomes will make it possible to evaluate the forecast resources of the promising natural brines occurrences and the geological and economic assessment of their development, to develop recommendations on technologies for the extraction of lithium, other rare alkali metals and halogen elements, as well as for the disposal of waste brines.
A scientifically based assessment of the mineral potential of natural brines on the territory of Southern Kazakhstan will allow evaluating the prospects for the development of the lithium industry in the Republic.
EXPECTED AND ACHIEVED RESULTS -2024
Factual data, unpublished reports and analytical materials on the natural lithium-bearing brines occurrences in the Shu-Sarysu depression will be collected, summarized and analyzed.
Regional hydro-geochemical studies will be conducted to identify and evaluate the hydro-geochemical indicators of natural lithium-bearing brines of various types and genesis in the Shu-Sarysu depression.
A geo-information database of the natural lithium-bearing brines occurrences on the territry of the Shu-Sarysu depression will be made.
Thematic maps and cartographic models of the distribution of natural lithium-bearing brines in the Shu-Sarysu depression will be developed and prepared.
The forecast resources will be analyzed and evaluated including a geological and economic assessment to be given for the development of the promising natural lithium-bearing brines occurrences in the Shu-Sarysu depression.
Recommendations will be developed on technologies for the extraction of lithium, other rare alkali metals and halogen elements from natural brines of the Shu-Sarysu depression, as well as on the waste brines disposal.
In 2024, factual data, stock and analytical materials were analyzed based on world and domestic experience on the manifestations of natural lithium-bearing brines in the territory of the Shu-Sarysu depression; regional field hydrogeochemical studies were performed to identify and evaluate the hydrogeochemical parameters of natural lithium-bearing brines of various types and genesis in the territory of the Shu-Sarysu depression (Moinkum structure); A geoinformation database of manifestations of natural lithium-bearing brines in the territory of the Shu-Sarysu depression has been developed and created; thematic maps and cartographic models of the distribution of natural lithium-bearing brines in the territory of the Shu-Sarysu depression (Moinkum structure) have been constructed and created.
