Abstract

Wastes after extraction and processing of ore from natural deposits are large sources of economical efficiency during gold production. These wastes include dumps of mining enterprises, sludge and tailing facilities and exhausted and disquieted placer deposits. The problems, connected with behavior of gold in dumps of mining and metallurgical production, have been considered in this paper. Mineralogical variations, which should be considered during roasting of carbonic ores and research of dumps composition have been presented.

keywords Dump, gold, buckstone, flotation tailing, eolation, cyanidation, ore roasting.
