Köppen climate type:
The deposit consists of mineralized ladder-stockwork-type zones with veinlet-disseminated mineralization occurring within Paleozoic terrigenous-sedimentary rocks and the granite massif. These zones are controlled by halos of hydrothermally altered rocks (greisen-type alteration), including biotitization, tourmalinization, fluorite alteration, and sulfidization. The mineralization does not extend beyond the boundaries of the altered rocks. It has been traced over a distance of 3 km with a width of 100–150 m and evaluated to depths of 330 m and more. Indicators of tin mineralization along the strike of the zone have been identified over a distance of up to 30 km. Two types of ores are distinguished at the deposit: hypogene and hypergene ores. Among the primary ores, cassiterite and stannite-cassiterite mineralogical types are recognized, with tin contents reaching 1% or more and averaging 0.312%. The tin content in the weathering crust varies from 0.199 to 2.335%, averaging 0.337%, which is slightly higher than in the primary ores.
Within the Syrymbet deposit, three natural ore types are distinguished according to their formation conditions and localization: primary ores, weathering crust ores, and unconsolidated deposits.
