The article considers the peculiarities in the geotectonic development and ore potential of geological structures in Southern Altai, Eastern Kazakhstan. The territory encompasses the southeastern flanks of the tectonic zones of Rudny Altai and Kalba of Greater Altai, which are part of the overall system of the Central Asian mobile belt. The spatial adjacency of geological and ore-bearing structures of different ages and composition is emphasized, which were subjected to intense metamorphic and hydrothermal–metasomatic alterations under the influence of the Dzungarian massif and Siberian Plate and subsequent thrust–strike-slip deformations. The iron ore, copper, polymetallic, gold, and rare metal deposits formed in various geodynamic settings are characterized. The ore-controlling factors and criteria for forecasting and prospecting for ore objects are noted.

本文考虑了哈萨克斯坦东部阿尔泰南部地质构造的大地构造发展和矿石潜力的特点。该领土包括大阿尔泰的鲁德尼阿尔泰和卡尔巴构造带的东南侧翼，它们是中亚移动带整个系统的一部分。强调了在准噶尔地块和西伯利亚板块的影响下，发生强烈变质和热液-交代蚀变以及随后的逆冲走滑变形的地质构造和含矿构造的空间相邻性。在各种地球动力学环境中形成的铁矿石、铜、多金属、金和稀有金属矿床具有特征性。
