Material composition of Quaternary sediments in the Volhyn Polissia studied enough. The same applies to the accumulation of deposits of glacial complex. Data of mineralogy of glacial and fluvioglacial sediments and their petrographic composition of coarse fragment component was considered. The possibility of using of the material for search of non-traditional mineral deposits in Volhyn Polissya was noted. Key words: Volhyn Polissia, Dnieper glaciation, building materials, diamond, pyrope, amber, phosphate sandstone, native gold.
