The new data published firstly obtained by quantitative methods (XRF and ICP MS) on the terms of the average content of macro- and microelements in industrial wastes of the Fiagdon tailing dump exceed the data used for calculation of the metals reserves stored in tailing pond. While elevated content of precious metals, especially Platinum, revealed for the first time. This makes more attractive measure from an economic point of view. The development of a method for the complete utilization of waste, with the extraction of economically valuable and environmentally hazardous elements.
