Balkhash (Kazakh: Balqaş, بالقاش; Russian: Балхаш, Romanized: Balkhash) is a city in Kazakhstan, located on the northern shore of the Lake Balkhash, on the Bay Bertys, and in the south of the Kazakh Uplands.
Balkhash was founded in 1937 as an industrial city centred on the mining and smelting of copper, and presently copper is still exploited there.
The city lies approximately 500 km west of the Chinese border on the north side of the lake at an altitude of 440 m.
The history of the city is closely connected with mining of deposits of copper and development of a smelting plant.
The strata in the Balkhash region are divided into three units: Precambrian metamorphic basement, Paleozoic folded sedimentary and metamorphic rocks, and Mesozoic and Cenozoic sandstone and mudstone. Most of the Arganaty region and its surrounding areas are covered by Quaternary deposits. Paleozoic deposits are well exposed in the region, while Precambrian formations are found outside the area. The region is situated between two regional faults: the Lepsy and Jongar faults. The faulting in the Arganaty area has predominantly northwest and sub-latitudinal trends. This zone is located in the northeastern part of the Jongar Alatau and extends to the northeastern shore of Lake Balkhash for over 400 km, with a maximum width of 125 km. From the Ordovician to the Middle Carboniferous, continuous sedimentation occurred in the region, resulting in a complete stratigraphic sequence and significant sediment thickness (up to 15 km). Deposits of jasper–basalt and green-colored terrigenous–siliceous–basaltic formations accumulated in an oceanic basin. Starting from the Late Devonian, subduction of the Jongar–Balkhash Ocean occurred, which ended with the formation of a collision zone.

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Paleozoic : 303.1 Ma to 255 ± 10 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
