The oldest (Archean - early Proterozoic) crystalline basement is exposed in the eastern mountain framing of the basin called Aktyuz-Bordin; in the northern framing of the basin, the gneissic basement lies at a depth of 2-3 km, plunging to 12 km to the south, and in the axial part of the Kyrgyz Range - to a depth of up to 5 km.
The Chui Valley (depression) and the Kyrgyz Ridge framing it from the south are located within the Caledonian Ulu-Tau-North Tien Shan structural-facial zone, which serves as a peculiar structural axis of the Tien Shan.
