Today, during development of Muruntau deposit, the problem of primarily involving of technogenic mineral formations of overburden rocks in processing of raw material, characterized with low gold content, is important. Amount of overburden rocks at present time is more than 500 mln tones. Therefore, detect defective of strictly rock mass from initial volume on mining rock mass, using separable large-portion excavation of rock and mineralized mass from wastes of overburden rocks allows to essentially increase resources involving to processing and reduce total expenses on ore transportation and processing, improving profitability of production in totality, owing to raising of average gold content in products of benefication.
