Mercury (Hg) and Antimony (Sb) in Tajikistan

Primary deposits of mercury and antimony are located within the Zerafshan and Gissar valleys and in the Pamirs. Industrial reserves are estimated for the following deposits:

• Jijikurt
• Shing and Magian Groups
• Konchoch

Ores in these deposits are complex and can include both mercury and antimony; ores in Konchoch, however, contain mostly antimony.

The Anzob Ore Mining and Processing Enterprise is based on the Jijikurt deposit. Other deposits with limited studies carried out include:

1. Skalnoye
2. Pasrud-Yaghnob
