Скарновые железорудные месторождения являются важной составляющей мировой сырьевой базы железа, однако их освоение, как правило, сопровождается значительным воздействием на окружающую среду вследствие масштабных открытых горных работ. В настоящем исследовании представлена комплексная геологическая и геоэкологическая оценка Жуантобинского скарнового железорудного месторождения (Центральный Казахстан) с акцентом на взаимосвязь процессов рудообразования и реакции окружающей среды в условиях действующего горного производства. В работе объединены геологические, минералогические, геохимические, геофизические данные, а также результаты долгосрочного экологического мониторинга за период 2018–2025 гг. Рудные тела характеризуются сложной морфологией, контролируемой разрывными нарушениями и многостадийной эволюцией скарнообразования, включая проградную (гранат–пироксеновую) и ретроградную (магнетит–сульфидную) стадии. Результаты экологического мониторинга свидетельствуют о систематическом снижении антропогенной нагрузки, в том числе уменьшении пылевой нагрузки (>40%), содержания железа в почвах (~40%) и выбросов CO₂ (~35%). Показано, что реализация комплекса природоохранных мероприятий обеспечивает стабилизацию экологических показателей в пределах допустимых нормативов. В работе предложена концептуальная модель, связывающая геологическое строение месторождения с экологическими характеристиками, а также сформулирован комплекс универсальных подходов к устойчивому освоению скарновых железорудных месторождений.

Skarn iron ore deposits represent a significant component of the global iron resource base, yet their development is commonly associated with substantial environmental disturbance due to large-scale open-pit mining. This study presents an integrated geological and geoecological assessment of the Zhuantobe skarn iron ore deposit (Central Kazakhstan), focusing on the relationship between ore-forming processes and environmental response under active mining conditions. The research combines geological, mineralogical, geochemical, geophysical, and long-term environmental monitoring datasets (2018–2025). Ore bodies are characterized by complex morphology controlled by fault systems and multistage skarn evolution, including prograde (garnet–pyroxene) and retrograde (magnetite–sulfide) assemblages. Environmental monitoring indicates a systematic reduction in anthropogenic impact, including a decrease in dust load (>40%), soil iron content (~40%), and CO₂ emissions (~35%). The results demonstrate that the implementation of integrated environmental protection measures effectively stabilizes environmental parameters within permissible limits. The study provides a framework linking geological structure with environmental performance and proposes a set of transferable strategies for sustainable development of skarn iron ore deposits.
