Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The Valeryanovskaya structural-formational zone is located in the Kostanay region of Kazakhstan and is part of the North Kazakhstan bauxite province. The article discusses the genesis of bauxites and provides structural and petrographic argumentsfor the lateritic origin of bauxites, previously considered karst. Analogies are given of the structure of bauxite ore bodies andtheir host formations with the structure of the Shaimerden zinc deposit. The Shaimerden type Bozhi Dar ore occurrence is brieflydescribed and proposed fundamental methods for searching for similar objects based on the idea of the lateritic origin of bauxites.
