Mineralogical and geochemical features of the Yoshlik deposit (Almalyk-Angren are region, Uzbekistan)

The article presents the mineralogical and geochemical features of the types and grades of ores of the Yоshlik copper-molybdenum deposit. Chemical, mass spectrometric results of analyses of the selected samples are given. Ore minerals and their structural and textural features are established in the description of the anschlifs. The formation of the Yоshlik deposit is associated with small intrusions of diorites and mainly monzodiorites and monzonites, since it is polychronous and polyformational like other copper-porphyry objects of the Almalyk ore region. There is a possible connection between the mineralization of gold, silver and platinoids with plutonic dyke formations.
