Experimental Research of Pay Section Formation in Gold Mining Waste

Abstract

Underestimation of raw material reserves contained in gold mining waste dumps results in tense socio-economic situation in gold mining regions. Efficient management of gold mine waste is only possible with the new and sound technologies of waste preparation and deep conversion with a view to recovering valuable components. Aimed at creation of such technology, the large-scale theoretical and experimental research has been undertaken in order to study the nature and rate of influence exerted by basic process factors on migration and concentration of gold particles in gold mine waste.
