Abstract

About 70 acting and inactive mining and hydraulic engineering structures containing considerable number of valuable components have been identified in the Ural mining region, suggesting that they can be viewed as man-made mineral fields. The paper studies an optional approach to identify these structures as real estate assets with their further record in the Unified State Register of Immovable Property and their commercialization.

Highlights

Wastes of processing plants in a form of accumulated solid waste disposed in waste dumps, and liquid wastes stored in special hoppers, as well as sedimentation ponds (hereinafter – mining hydraulic engineering structures (MHS), are generated in the course of extraction of mineral resources, in particular, at production and primary processing of the minerals
As shown in reference [1], zinc and lead middlings and concentrates from 3% to 20% can be extracted from dressing plant tailings, remaining after polymetallic ores dressing; pyrite concentrate containing more than 30% of sulfur, titanium-magnesium concentrate containing more than 30% of titanium oxide can be produced
Clay-salt sludges remaining after dressing the ores produced at Verkhnekamskoye field of potassium and magnesium salt contain gold (0.57 gpt), platinum (9.6 gpt) and palladium (11.8 gpt) on top of magnesium, manganese and common salt [2]

Summary

Introduction

Wastes of processing plants in a form of accumulated solid waste disposed in waste dumps, and liquid wastes stored in special hoppers (tailings storage and slurry storage facilities), as well as sedimentation ponds (hereinafter – mining hydraulic engineering structures (MHS), are generated in the course of extraction of mineral resources, in particular, at production and primary processing of the minerals. Mining hydraulic engineering structures (hereinafter – MHS) shall be further referred to as facilities designed for storage of mining wastes.
