Abstract
There were several rich deposits of polymetal ores of non-ferrous and precious metals in the region of Imperial Russia and the Soviet Union. Metallurgical production of these metals was developed even a thousand years ago and was in the top of the world at the beginning of the fourth quarter of the twentieth century. The disintegration of the Soviet Union and the change of government structures caused a reduction of metallurgical production, but there are all conditions to intensify and increase the production of non-ferrous and precious metals in Russia and other former Soviet republics, which are now middle-asian countries.
Highlights
Mining-metallurgical production of non-ferrous and precious metals was developed in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union because of the excellent raw material base
In the republics of the former Soviet Union, in Central Asia, there were several deposits of polymetallic ores of lead and zinc in which silver and gold is always present as supporting metals
In old Russia in the region of Central Asia, lead was produced in the distant past, primarily as a metal with which is easier to produce silver and gold, and which was known to all the old metallurgists
Summary
Mining-metallurgical production of non-ferrous and precious metals was developed in the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union because of the excellent raw material base. In the republics of the former Soviet Union, in Central Asia, there were several deposits of polymetallic ores of lead and zinc in which silver and gold is always present as supporting metals. The most famous of these metals mines are located in Kazakhstan, on Altai, Zabajkal, Ural, North Caucasus, Magadan, whose polymetallic ores, in addition to base metals lead and zinc, contain a range of ancillary, non-ferrous, precious and rare metals, such as copper, antimony, silver, gold, cadmium, bismuth, selenium, tellurium, indium, germanium and other
