The Kyrgyz Republic is geologically a unique region. All the chemical elements of D.I. Mendeleev's table have been discovered on the territory of the Republic and more than 15,000 deposits and ore manifestations of various types of minerals are known. Only gold deposits are more than 1000. The resource potential of the territory of our Republic is very large.
Therefore, today the mining industry is recognized by the Government of the Republic as one of the priority areas in the development of the country's economy.
The University was established by the Decree of the President of the Kyrgyz Republic on April 2, 1993 in order to train highly qualified specialists for the national economy in the field of geology, mining and metallurgy. The University is the only specialized educational institution in the Central Asian region, the main task of which is to train highly qualified engineers for the geological, mining and metallurgical industries, conduct research and development work, as well as advanced training and retraining of engineering and technical personnel.
The uniqueness of the university lies in the fact that we train specialists at all stages of studying and developing mineral deposits, namely, this is the training: geological engineers, whose task is the discovery, exploration and transfer to industrial development of mineral deposits; mining engineers who ensure the extraction of minerals by underground and open methods; metallurgical engineers obtaining pure metal through enrichment and metallurgical process; environmental engineers who study the state of environmental protection in the extraction of minerals; engineers-economists engaged in mining economics and mining management; software engineers providing information support for mining production.
Asanaliev Usengazy Asanalievich
Asanaliyev Usengazy was born in 1934 on 15.10. in the village of Shalba, Jety-Oguz district, Issyk-Kul region, Kyrgyz SSR, in the family of a collective farmer. In 1952, after graduating from Issykkul Secondary School, he entered the Frunze Polytechnic Institute. In 1957 he graduated from the Faculty of Mining and Geology with a degree in Geology and Mineral Exploration. In 1958 he entered the postgraduate course of the Institute of Geology of the Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz SSR. He completed his postgraduate studies in 1961. From 1961 he held the position of junior and senior researcher. In 1972 he became the head of the lithological laboratory of the Institute of Geology. In 1963 he received a diploma of a candidate, and in 1971 a degree of doctor of geological and mineralogical sciences. In 1979 he was approved in the academic rank of professor. In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of V.I. Lenin, he was awarded the jubilee medal "For Valiant Labor". In 1974 he was appointed Vice-Rector for Research. In 1993 he was appointed rector of the Kyrgyz Mining and Metallurgical Institute. Asanaliev U. is a well-known scientist of the country for the study of the geology and genesis of stratiform deposits of non-ferrous, rare and noble metals in sedimentary and volcanogenic-sedimentary formations. On this issue, he published about 150 scientific works in local and central publications, including three monographs. On the initiative of U. Asanaliev, the only problem research laboratory of stratiform deposits of non-ferrous, rare and noble metals and a laboratory for forecasting deposits of non-ferrous, rare and noble metals of Kyrgyzstan were created in the country's universities. His scientific guidance and consultation prepared 10 candidates and 1 doctor of geological and mineralogical sciences.
