AP23488914 "Development of a technology for the quantitative assessment of fine gold in natural and man-made objects and assessment of the prospects for its discovery in Kazakhstan"

Relevance

The research results will have a multiplicative effect. Solves the scientific, technical and environmental problems of processing gold-containing products, ensuring the integrated and efficient use of gold-containing mineral raw materials, through the additional recovery of fine gold.

Purpose

The purpose of this project is to develop a technology (a set of methods) for studying and quantifying fine gold in ores of various types of indigenous deposits, placer sands and their processed products in order to increase the country's gold reserves and production volume. Expanding the gold resource base, creating jobs and attracting investments.

Expected and achieved results

During the study, data on the distribution of fine-dispersed gold (FDG) in ores of various types of primary deposits, as well as in placer sands and their processing products, will be analyzed. The research includes both theoretical and practical studies of the properties of FDG, as well as methods for its extraction. As a result of developing this technology, new knowledge will be gained about the physical and chemical characteristics of fine-dispersed gold, which will enhance the efficiency of its extraction and processing. Additionally, technical assignments will be developed for conducting analytical studies aimed at accurately determining the content of FDG in ores, placers, and enrichment products, ensuring the reliability of the results. Forecast studies will also be conducted to assess the potential for discovering new deposits with FDG in the Republic of Kazakhstan. This data will be used for planning further geological exploration works and developing new technologies for processing gold-bearing materials.
