Evaluating the effectiveness of fine gold extraction technologies on the example of titanomagnetite beach placers of the western coast of Kamchatka

The material on the gold content of coastal-marine deposits western coast Kamchatka is analyzed and resource potential briefly characterized. A review technological estimates obtained from study gold-bearing samples taken in promising areas strip, Bolshaya Vorovskaya River north to Cape Levashova south, presented. Stock materials supplemented by our studies were used. Gold-bearing with very fine (0.05-0.1 mm) (0.1-1.0 amounting 94.6 % tested, as well up 2 mm more addition freely recoverable reached 91.9 %. In case significant reserves placers, prospects for their commercial development open up. experiments enrichment Western indicate possibility extraction free other valuable components them. Gravity technologies modern equipment developed ОАО Irgiredmet JSC ITOMAK are most effective extraction. formations simultaneous several useful them, which possible use fluoride technology, can also become economically advantageous.
