The article analyzes the formation and resources of the mineral therapeutic waters of the resort “Yangan-Tau”. For water supply and therapeutic purposes in the sanatorium is widely used source “Kurgazak” with mineralization of water 0.5 g/l, bicarbonate magnesium-calcium composition with radon content and high temperature (15–16°C). To further expand the resort facilities of the sanatorium for therapeutic purposes, Kuselyarovskiye hydrogen sulfide springs located 20–23 km west of the sanatorium “Yangan-Tau” at the base of the Kutkantau mountain are also quite promising. The chemical composition of water is hydrocarbonate-sulphate-chloride magnesium-sodium-calcium with a mineralization of 0.6–0.9 g/l. There is also the presence of trace elements: iodine, bromine, boron, fluorine, etc. Significant resources of Kuselarovsky hydrogen sulfide springs in the future can be used as therapeutic and table mineral waters of the resort “Yangan-Tau”.
