Goal. The goal is to study processes contributing to gold deposits formation in East Kazakhstan, associated with carbonate formations, in order to obtain the results confirming sufficiently high potential for the identification of unconventional types of deposits with fine and free gold in carbonate formations of the region, which may be of industrial importance. Method. Analysis of literary and stock materials, field studies within the known gold deposits. As well as evaluation of known and new geological-industrial types of deposits for gold using high-precision methods of rocks and minerals research to detect gold in the laboratories: “IRGETAS” D. Serikbaev EKTU and Geological-Ecological Institute LLP. Suzdal, Mirazh, Zhanan, Zhaima, and some areas and sites in Western Kalba (Baibura and others) deposits to a certain extent can be referred to the Carlin type of gold mineralization in East Kazakhstan. Outcomes. Collection, summarization and analysis of collected geological materials resulted in revealing the main feature of gold spatial confinement, as well as gold-mercury and nickel-cobalt mineralization in weathering crusts to the Zaisan sutural zone of eastern Kazakhstan. The obtained results reflect the fundamentality of the research and confirm sufficiently high prospects for identifying unconventional type of deposits with fine and free gold in island-arc volcanic-carbonateterrigenous formations of the region. They may be of industrial importance and cost-effectively exploited with the use of modern technologies. Scientific novelty. The theoretical novelty of the research is that a new approach to the study and evaluation of gold-bearing structures of West Kalba zone and adjacent areas of Zharma-Saur is used. Practical significance. Great scientific and practical importance is given to Gorny Altai and Kazakhstan continental margins junction area, where the Zaisan sutural zone (Semipalatinsk, Priirtyshye and other areas) with axial Charsko-Gornostaevskiy suture and the main gold-bearing structures of the region are concentrated. A large East-Kazakhstan gold belt is predicted here, and its northwestern and south-eastern flanks have not been studied sufficiently yet. In this regard, taking into account the stated methodological approaches, there is a certain potential for further development of research works in theoretical and applied aspects aimed at strengthening the raw material base for East Kazakhstan gold mining industry.
