The tin deposit Syrymbet that is located within the Syrymbet coalfield where tin mineralization is associated with the zones of exocontact of granite-porphyres intrusion and, in a lesser degree, to granite-porphyres. The ore-bearing thickness is represented by the terrigenous-sedimentary rocks of Sharykskaya series subjected to the intense hydrothermalmetasomatic processing within the contact zone (silification, biotitization, seritization, tourmalinization, amphibolization, skarnification etc.). The deposit is a stockwork where the upper part is made up by a thick weathering crust. The deposit area is divided into three sites: Southern-Western, Central, and Northern-Eastern.
