Abstract

Considering peculiarities of resource potential in spoil dumps after gold placer mining and based on the analysis of spoil dump samples taken in two large gold placer mines, the article illustrates renewability of the resources left in spoil dumps under effect of natural processes (low-temperature, gravity water flow, suffosion, etc.).
