(2004)		ZVMO133_59	Mount Kara-Chagyr is in the right side of the middle reaches of the river. Isfayramsy (Osh region, Kyrgyzstan). This place is one of the manifestations of colovratite confined to the zone of distribution of uranium-bearing carbonaceous-siliceous schists stretching for several hundred kilometers along the foothills of the Alaysk Range.
