ON GEOLOGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES
1926 Central Asian branch of the Geological
Committee (now State Committee) has been organized
and initiating a comprehensive study of geology and
mineral resources in Central Asia.
In accordance with the Decree of the President of
the Republic of Uzbekistan 27.08.2010g. № PP-1396
"On measures to further improve the efficiency of the
organization and conduct of exploration," State
Committee defined functions:
- exploration work on the hydro resources;
- exploration work on solid non-metallic minerals;
- exploration works on ferrous metals;
- comprehensive research on geological study
areas geological filming work, identifying promising
areas of mineral resources.

ON GEOLOGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES
Mineral deposits registered in the State Balance of RUz as of
01.01.2012 (number of deposits/ % of total number)
During independence years the
Republic of Uzbekistan has strongly
fixed own positions at the global mineral
market in many directions
Mineral deposits discovered during the Independence
Period of RUz (number of deposits/ % of total number)
The current status of a mineral base on
strategic aspects of metallic minerals, oil and
gas,
mineral
fertilizers,
groundwater
construction materials as a whole is estimated as
satisfactory.

Тебинбулак
Site: Northwest end part of Sultan-Uvais
mountains, Karauzyaksky district Karakalpakstan in
8,0 km to the east from Karauzyak railway station.
Infrastructure: at a distance of 1,5 - 2 km to
the southeast the transmission line passes and one
substation is built. Cross the Karauzyak railway
station a water pipe from the Tuyamuyun water
reservoir to supply water to Nukus and districts
located to the north from it passes. Branch from a
waterpipe is in 3-4 km to the south from a deposit.
Distance to highway А-380 is 5 km.

GAVA
Namangan
Location: The Gavasay
prospective area (220
km2) is located on the
southern slopes of the
Kuraminsky ridge on a
right bank of the Syrdarya
river
between
its
tributaries Gavasay and
Charkasarsay.

Under signed memorandum of understanding on cooperation in the field of
geological study of the Gava area perspective for revealing of deposits of copper
and other metals (including associated components), located in the Namangan
area, joint cooperation between Goscomgeology and Rio-Tinto company is being
maintained.
STATE COMMITTEE OF THE REPUBLIC OF UZBEKISTAN
ON GEOLOGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES
During 18th session of the Uzbek-British Council devoted to trade and
industry, arrangements on preparation of the draft agreement on carrying out
of geological study have been reached, according to which in 2012 financing
(about 1,0 million dollar) and commencement of stage-by-stage geological
researches on the Gava prospective area are provided. In case of revealing
of exploitability of the area for discovery of copper-porphyritic deposit, the
parties will discuss continuation of exploration including further mining
according to PSA terms.
Now the draft agreement on geological study of Gava prospective area in
the Namangan area is under approval, which provides for the following
stages:
 2012-2013. (Stage 1) - exploration works on GAVA;
 2014 (Stage 2) - with the positive results of exploration work, approval
and signing of the PSA;
 From 2015 (Stage 3) - development of the deposit on PSA terms.

Uzbekistan has modern mining and
processing industry as well as developed
infrastructure. Complexity of many deposits and
opportunity of extraction of co-elements
considerably increase their value, and favorable
conditions of investment are the reliable basis
for wide attraction of the direct foreign and inner
investments.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION!
