Abstract
Lithium is a fast growing sector. It is used in the production of lithium-ion batteries, which are widely used in smartphones, laptops, electric vehicles such as hybrid cars, electric vehicles or e-bikes. The need for this element is dictated by modern demand. The main deposits of lithium, known in Kazakhstan, were explored back in Soviet times, and since then not everyone understood the need for this metal, they were mothballed as a strategic reserve. Such objects include the Medvedka, Akhmetkino deposits, the Shozhe, Lukon, Skalistoye ore occurrence, etc., located within the Medvedko-Akhmetkinsky ore field. The ore field belongs to the central part of the Karagoin-Saryozek pegmatite zone, the Kalba-Narym granitoid belt. Within the field, the main favorable factors for the placement of rare-metal mineralization are considered: geological-structural (tectonic disturbances and ore-bearing environment) and mineralogical-geochemical (indicator minerals of lithium-bearing pegmatites and geochemical elements Li, Rb, Cs, Ta, Nb).
