Abstract
Data on the content of uranium and other components in mineralized lakes of Western Mongolia and the adjacent territory of the Russian Federation were generalized. It was revealed that soda lakes of the studied regions were characterized by an increased content of uranium. The assessment of reserves of uranium and other micro- (Li, Br, B, As, etc.) and macroelements in lake waters was performed. Geochemical sources of uranium accumulation in lake systems, and forms of its deposition in water and bottom sediments of lakes were analyzed. Possible variants of the way of extracting uranium and other precious components from lake waters were considered.
