The Starkovskoye deposit is a small-scale polymetallic occurrence situated in the Leninogorsk district of East Kazakhstan, approximately 25 km from the city of Ridder. Structurally, the deposit is positioned on the northeastern flank of the Listvyazhnaya syncline, a complex geological fold further complicated by secondary folds and a network of multi-oriented faults. The area is primarily composed of Middle to Upper Devonian strata, including the volcano-sedimentary Uspenskaya suite and the sedimentary Beloubinskaya suite, both of which are intruded by Devonian and Permian gabbro-diabases and granitoids.
The mineralization is organized into three distinct zones, each with varying ore characteristics. The first and second zones are dominated by sulfur-pyrite (pyritic) ores containing pocket-like accumulations of sphalerite, while the third zone hosts the primary polymetallic mineralization. The ore bodies are typically thin, lens-shaped structures that can extend up to 500 meters along the strike. Although the deposit is classified as small, it contains a diverse metal profile including zinc (up to 3.9%), copper, lead, and precious metals like silver and gold, along with trace amounts of cadmium and molybdenum.
