Abstract
The results of the determination of a wide range of macro- and microcomponents of drainage water of mining objects (quarry, adits, and tailing dump) of the operating tungsten mine Bom Gorkhon (Transbaikalia) were enunciated. A strongly acidic character of water of the tailing dump, abnormally high level of the concentrations of aluminium, fluorine, chalcophilic, rare earth and other elements was established. The data on forms of aluminium and fluorine were presented. In profiles of REE normalized for shale, the most acidic water of the tailing dump is distinguished by the maximum on cerium.
