General information about Arym II marble deposit 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. Arym II marble deposit is located on the territory of the Toktogul Region of the Jalal-Abad Oblast of the Kyrgyz Republic, on the southern spurs of Susamyrtau mountain range. Absolute elevations range between 1526-1683 m. The geographical coordinates are as follows: 42 ° 03 ' of north latitude and 72 ° 49' of east longitude. Arym II marble deposit is confined to the watershed ridge in the Arym-Kichine-Arym interstream area that gradually uplifts in the south-west direction. The near interstream area of the ridge is grasscovered and characterized by smooth outlines. Transport conditions of the deposit are favorable: the regional center - the city of Toktogul is located 28 km from the deposit. In the vicinity there is a Bishkek - Osh highway (0.7 km). Tash Kumyr train station is located at a distance of 155 km; the town of Kara-Balta is located at a distance of 200 km. The main waterways are Chichkan river and its largest tributary - the Arym river. Water flow in the Arym river is 8-15 m / s in July and in February it decreases to 1 m / sec. The climate is continental. The minimum winter temperature in January drops to -12.6 ° C, the maximum summer temperature (in July) reaches + 15.7 ° C, the average temperature is + 9.5 ° C. The average annual rainfall reaches 661 mm. In terms of avalanching Arym II marble deposit area is safe. The area of Arym II marble deposit is characterized by a large outcrop, it is almost barren of plant life, except for isolated juniper trees and shrubs. KW-500 power lines run 400 m to the north of Arym II marble deposit. The sources of drinking and technical water are waters of rivers Chichkan and Arym. In the basin of Chichkan river from Alabel mountain crossing to the city Toktogul there are practically no human settlements. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. The population of the area is inconsiderable in number. Small groups of people living in the weather station "Itagor", working in cafes and eating houses and on the road construction site stay here on a seasonal or shift basis. Workers may be hired in the town of Toktogul. Marbles belong to the group of colored rocks (gray, light gray, blue-gray, green, rarely black) and are highly decorative and can be well glassed. By chemical composition the pay rocks are divided into marbles of highly calcareous composition containing calcium oxide from 46.46 to 53.76%, magnesium oxide - from - 0.98 to 3.2%, silica from 2.9 to 12.0%, marbled dolomites with 20.5% of magnesium oxide and 31.08 % of calcium oxide, 2.1% silica and modified marbles with a high content of magnesium oxide (up to 22.87%), calcium oxide (up to 32.36%), silicon dioxide (up to 24.22%). The rocks building up the area are monolithic and substantially anhydrous. On the well drilling site there is no underground water. The maximum flow of water into the quarry is due to precipitation and according to the calculations is 115 ๐3 / h. The quarry water removal can be provided by gravity. Issues of drinking and technical water supply will be solved due to Arym River. Bacteriological analysis of the water showed full compliance with the requirements of GOST 2874-73 "Drinking water". Mine technical and hydrogeological conditions of the field are favorable for its development by an open pit method; the rocks forming the site are monolithic and substantially anhydrous. The deposit is represented by a ridge projecting above the surrounding surface. Landslides and mudflows on the pit mining site are excluded. On the basis of the characteristics of the geological structure of the deposit and the applied technique and the exploration system, the calculation of reserves in terms of pay rocks was carried out based on the vertical slice method. The reserves were estimated in the contour of the mountain pit adopted by the techno-economic study of deposit development conditions between elevations 1530 m and 1680 m. As per the degree of exploration maturity of the quality the estimated reserves of marble are qualified by categories A, B and C1. Reserves of monolithic category A marble were estimated within blocks I - A and II - A. Reserves of category B marble were estimated by blocks III-B and IV-B. Reserves of category C1 were estimated in blocks V-C1 and VI-C1. Fractured marbles in the near-surface zone were estimated by category A (sub-blocks 1-A and 2-A) and C1 (sub-blocks 3-C1). External rock overburden was estimated in sub-blocks 4, 5, 6 and 7, loose overburden - in subblocks 8 and 9. The inner rock overburden (dikes of microdiorites) was estimated based on the statistical method. Reserves approved by the State Committee on Mineral Reserves in the following amounts as of 01.09.1980: Category of Reserves A B C1 Total: 28. 29. Reserves of monolithic marble rocks not affected by weathering, thousand ๐3 171 470 80 721 Reserves of fractured marble rocks affected by weathering, thousand ๐3 118 21 139 In the mid-80s of the last century, the stripping operations were started followed by extraction of a small amount of marble blocks but soon they were stopped. Reserves of marbles suitable for the production of facing blocks, slabs and marble chips were approved by the State Reserves Committee of the USSR in 1980 (Minutes No 8673) by categories A + B + C1: on Arym II site -860 thous. ๐3 . Balance reserves as of January 1, 2011 by categories A + B + C1 for Arym II site are 717 thous. ๐3 , by category C2 - 889 thous. ๐3 . Balance reserves of marble affected by weathering – by category A + B + C1 - 128 thous. ๐3 , including by category A 107 thousand๐3 , by category C1 – 21 thous. ๐3 . 3.
