Large industrial deposit of mercury.

The Aydarken Mercury Plant (KMP) was the third-largest producer of primary mercury in 2005. The ore reserves exploited are located in or near Aydarken. The Minamata Convention on Mercury includes provisions that will eliminate primary mercury mining.

The Khaidarkan deposit/ore field, which includes a number of contiguous ore areas (the Main Ore Field, Plavikovaya Mountain, Kara-Archa, etc.), is composed of sedimentary rock strata of the Middle and Late Paleozoic: limestones and shales of the Silurian; limestones, sandstones, and shales of the Lower Devonian; massive and layered limestones of the Lower and Middle Carboniferous; and shales of the Middle and Upper Carboniferous. The structure of the ore field is very complex. Mercury mineralization is associated with sheet-like bodies of jasperoids and metasomatically silicified limestones, which form predominantly along steeply dipping faults, as well as at the contacts of massive Carboniferous limestones and overlying shales.

The main part of industrial mercury and antimony-mercury ores is confined to jasperoid breccias. Jasperoid breccias form large sheet-like deposits in zones of exfoliation and crushing in the crests of folds complicated by faults and interstratal movements, as well as stockwork-like deposits and cutting bodies in fracture zones along steeply dipping faults. The shapes of orebodies are diverse: substratal deposits, lenses, and mushroom-, columnar-, and nest-shaped bodies of irregular shape.

The main minerals of the ores of the deposit are cinnabar, stibnite, quartz, fluorite, and calcite; minor ones are pyrite, arsenopyrite, metacinnabar, realgar, orpiment, getchellite, livingstonite, famatinite, fahlores, gold, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, sericite, dickite, and baryte. In some areas of the deposit, livingstonite acquires the character of one of the main ore minerals. The presence of sericite is noted, which is found mainly in complex mercury-antimony-fluorite ores with arsenic. Sericite is a component of the cement of jasperoid breccias, associated with comb quartz, fluorite, stibnite, and cinnabar. Sometimes finely dispersed cinnabar inclusions are observed in sericite, giving the sericite a wax-red color. In supra-ore clay shales, in crushing zones, accumulations of clay minerals are established, representing a mixture of sericite, hydromicas, and kaolin-like products of their destruction. In cinnabar, a significant content of selenium (up to 0.257%) is noted as a constant impurity. The deposit belongs to the antimony-mercury subformation.
