The article is a brief review of the literature on the problem of rhenium-bearing carbonaceous shale. It’s clark is given, geochemical background, values of ore anomalies, and also a list of stratigraphic levels in sections of the Riphean and Paleozoic deposits of the Bashkirian and Uraltau meganticlinoria with extensive development of black shales. A further consideration is given to: 1) general features of mineralized carbonaceous strata of the western slope of the Southern Urals; 2) geological structure of the most promising on W, Mo and Re Novousmanovsky sheet, located at the junction of the West-Uraltau north-south fault and Burzyan west-east fault; 3) the results of geological mapping work of predecessors in the search for molybdenum mineralization. Rare metal ore mineralization within the Novousmanovsky sheet geologists connected with a large buried granitoid intrusion. We found that the abnormally high content of rare metals and rhenium are confined to quartz and feldspar-quartz veins, forming extensive areas within the carbonaceous deposits. The content of tungsten reaches 190 g/t, molybdenum — 100 g/t, rhenium — 4.6 g/t. For rhenium, the content variation ranged from 0.6 to 4.6 g/t, averaging for 18 samples as 1.74 g/t, which is within ore anomalies and 10 times greater than its clark in black shales. Positive predictive search criterion is weak erosion of the considered W-MoRe ore-magmatic system, of which only the top is partially opened. Thus, this ore mineralization may be related to the vein type and genetically linked to the buried intrusion of acidic composition, apophyses of which are found near the top of Artlish mountain and farther south.
