Nowadays, gold is mined mainly from ores.Moreover, not only of gold, but also those in which prevail different non-ferrous metals, namely copper, lead and silver.
natural non-ferrous metals in the gold content is usually much smaller than the gold minerals, but somewhat smaller and the cost of its production.It is worth noting that in this case the extraction of precious metals will largely depend on the demand for other non-ferrous metals.
Sources of gold
the question: "How to dig for gold?"- There are several answers.The main source of revenues are the primary deposits.Moreover, gold can be produced from the reclaimed material.Of course, the scale of this source is not significant, but in the future with the development of areas of use of precious metals in the industry, its value will increase.
To know how to mine gold from secondary sources, you need to understand what a "secondary gold."So called metal produced from processing of products that fail in the composition of the precious metal which is present in any, even small, quantities.
Primary deposits of gold - it is usually quartz veins of varying thickness and power.
How to break into "gold" business
Before you dig for gold, should decide with possible gold.Firstly, you can take part in the competition, the results of which shall be issued a license for gold mining.SUE "Komdragmet" today can offer to all interested investors with more than a dozen fields with ready-made business plans and justifications for their implementation.But we must understand that to develop the ore deposit required huge amounts of money - about hundreds of millions of dollars.Even the largest bank is not always alone will be able to master such investments.
There is another option available as a gold mine: a long-term loan at the development of new deposits.This credit can be obtained for a longer period, compared with an advance of seasonal production of precious metal.Investments in the development of placer deposits, estimated miners could pay for itself in one to two years, the development of ore deposits - in ten years.
third option - the purchase of the shares of gold mining companies.For example, the former state-owned mining and processing enterprises.
gold deposits in Russia
Gold in Russia is produced in the territory of 28 subjects, from Karelia and ending Chukotka.In this sector employs more than 600 joint-stock companies and other industrial structures that are independent miners.
Patriotic Gold mainly focused on the development of placer deposits, because such objects less lengthy construction time mines.But lately, mining and geological conditions have deteriorated handling placers declined and the average gold content.As a result, the trend toward the growing importance of ore deposits in the total volume of gold mining in Russia.
Especially this process is representative of the Magadan region, which is a major gold mining regions of the country and produces about one-third of the domestic precious metal.
