Abstract
Summary The article considers the technogenic resources of the Kryvyi Rih iron ore basin (Kryvbas). Over the 50 years of operation of mining and processing plants, significant volumes of overburdens and tailings have been formed on the territory of enterprises, which have accumulated in dumps and iron tailings. In addition, non-metallic minerals have been found in the walls of existing quarries that can be used in industry. The priority technogenic resources are proposed to include the following minerals: muscovite shales, underlying the productive iron ore strata of deposits, chlorite and garnet-bearing shales, constituting shale horizons of the productive iron ore stratum; amphibolite, granite, diabase. From the listed raw materials under laboratory conditions, non-traditional industrial products for mining iron ore enterprises were obtained. Iron tailings is suitable for obtaining iron ore concentrate and fractions enriched in rare earth metals and biogenic elements can be used as additives to improve the fertility of podzolic soils.
