Abstract

This article delves into the comprehensive study of geodynamics concerning ore formation within the local area of gold ore mineralization in the central KyzylKum province. The primary focus lies in understanding the influential role of faults and tectonic blocks in the distribution of gold mineralization at the Daugyztau ore field. Geodynamics, as a significant factor in ore formation processes, is driven by external forces and prominently characterized by the dynamic activity of faults and blocks.The central KyzylKum province is renowned for its rich gold deposits, and exploring the underlying geodynamic processes is crucial for deciphering the mechanisms behind the formation and distribution of these valuable mineral resources. The study aims to shed light on the relationship between geodynamic phenomena and gold mineralization within the Daugyztau ore field.One of the key aspects under investigation is the role of faults, which are fractures or discontinuities in the Earth's crust, in controlling the migration and concentration of gold-bearing fluids. These faults act as pathways and conduits for the transportation of hydrothermal fluids, facilitating the deposition of gold and other associated minerals. By analyzing the spatial distribution and characteristics of faults in the area, researchers can gain insights into the geological processes responsible for gold mineralization.
