Teniz Basin, Kazakhstan

Sedimentary Copper Prospectivity Mapping

Getech has conducted a comprehensive mineral system targeting analysis to determine where sedimentary copper deposits are most likely to occur within the Teniz Basin, Kazakhstan.

Using advanced spatial analysis, we identify areas where multiple genetic proxy indicators coincide, capturing the geological conditions required for copper mobilisation, transport, trapping, and preservation.

Our favourability workflow leverages Getech’s global datasets, including Globe and our market‑leading gravity and magnetic data, combined with specialist geoscience expertise to assess sediment‑hosted copper potential. The study delivers a basin‑scale prospectivity map that enables exploration teams to confidently prioritise targets and reduce exploration risk

Key Components of the Analysis include:

Copper Source (CS)

Identification of volcanic units and Devonian arc terranes from surface geology and tectonic framework data.
Mapping of continental red‑bed sediment packages from surface and subsurface datasets.

Copper‑Transporting Brines (CTB)

Delineation of evaporite units that support brine generation, from geological mapping and subsurface information.
Integration of structural pathways derived from gravity & magnetic interpretation to model fluid migration.

Copper Traps (CT)

Mapping of organic‑rich sediments, mudstones, and coal units acting as chemical and physical traps for copper precipitation.

Favourable Locations (FL)

Globe-derived Permian marine transgression and regression extents to identify optimal depositional settings.
Lithospheric thickness data from Globe Paleotectonic Models.

Fluid Circulation Drivers (FCD)

Present‑day heat‑flow models, with scope for further refinement using intrusive body mapping.
Permian sedimentation rates reconstructed from Upper Permian paleogeographies.

Deliverables:

A fully integrated report and prospectivity map highlighting the most favourable structural, stratigraphic, and geochemical domains for sedimentary copper mineralisation across the Teniz Basin. All delivered in ArcGIS format.
