Kurument iron ore is located on the north shore of the Naryn River that in the middle of Jaytim Mountains belong to Kyrgyzstan Narynskaya Oblast. Ore bodies are distributed in the range of 3200 meters from east to west, north-south width of 700 meters, a total of 8 iron ore bodies, estimate the amount of iron ore reserves about 2.5 tons. Deposit is located in the core of the middle of Tianshan Caledonian fold belt. The ore field tectonic is simple, fold and fault structures are not developed. The iron deposit occurs in the Proterozoic group belongs to the upper Sinian system Dequn Jaytim metamorphic clastic sedimentary sequence.
