Abstract

The article discusses the composition (reserves) and the possibility of organizing the development of the Kyzyl-Ompol titanomagnetite deposit in Kyrgyzstan. It is concluded that if certain conditions are met, the radiation ore – uranium and thorium – must first be removed. After removing the entire stock of these elements and creating complete radiation safety in this area, the development and enrichment of the main ore reserves can begin

Keywords
