Many of the major gold deposits of this region formed in the middle to Late Carboniferous and Early Permian during tectonic and magmatic activity which was related to the convergence and eventual suturing of the Kazakhstan and Karakum-Tarim continental masses (Zonenshain et al., 1990)1. A number of the deposits are world-class, particularly the syntectonic vein systems at Muruntau and the gold-bearing Kal’makyr porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit at Almalyk,...
