— Statistical analysis including elemental plots and multivariate statistics with PLS-DA (partial least square-discriminant analysis) reveal that the metamorphic facies of the host rocks as well as the regional host rock composition exert a strong control on scheelite composition.

In the coming years, Uzbekistan plans to increase gold production, with the expansion of ore production in existing mines, as well as the involvement of new deposits in mining and with an increase in the capacity of gold processing plants.

 — The metamorphic rocks hosting the giant Muruntau gold deposit and exhibiting some peculiarities adjacent to ore mineralization, are often referred to as the "Muruntau lens" ("Muruntau Sequence" in earlier work; Mukhin et al., 1988) according to their lens-shaped appearance (Fig. 7).

 — Uzbekistan ranked in the top ten in gold mining, with 101.6 tons of gold mined in 2020. According to Forbes, Uzbekistan produced 101.6 tons of gold in 2020. It is noted that compared to 2019 (94.6 tons of gold), in 2020 the indicators increased.

 — Whether you're a would-be prospector or just naturally curious, knowing which rocks contain gold can be something of a challenge. Here's six rocks known for containing gold.

Very obvious is the influence of fluids on the metamorphic rocks, e.g. the case of metasomatic ores hosted by limestones and micaschists from the Rodna ore deposit.

 — Over the five years to 2022, production from Uzbekistan increased by a CAGR of 3% and is expected to rise by a CAGR of 0.03% between 2023 and 2027. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of this market in its Global Gold Mining to 2030 report. Buy the report here.

 — This genetic model identifies regions with high-grade metamorphic rocks above metasomatized mantle lithosphere as promising new OGD exploration targets.

The territory of Uzbekistan is a part of the Turan Platform which originated in Late Paleozoic time and has a multiply folded basement which includes sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks from Late Proterozoic to Early Triassic age.
