This study presents the mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of tailing dumps at the Krasnorechenskaya concentrated mill (Primorye region, Russia). Primary ore minerals and new-forming mineral assemblages were also investigated. According to obtained data the major elements possible reserves accumulated in these tailings were estimated. It is indicated that the tailing dumps at the Krasnorechenskaya concentrated mill is potentially productive for secondary recovery. The tailing sediment has natural geochemical stratification and the specific correlations of elements are typical for each selected layer.
