Is gold mining allowed in settlements. Let's talk about where you can find gold deposits. Re-laundering of gold

The owners are flying to collect tribute.

It just so happened - our civilization can no longer exist without metals: iron, bronze, copper, silver, etc. We all understand that these metals are in much greater circulation than gold, because it is not used for our needs. At the same time, no other metal was the cause of the most terrible and bloody wars and crimes. No other metal has caused so many problems.

Let's go back far into the past. Now it is difficult to say when for the first time a person turned his attention to gold. In those distant times, he could not have thought about how to apply this material. In Egypt, gold was called "nub", it is believed that it was from him that the name of the country came from - "Nubia", in which the Egyptians mined gold. Gold that they mined by the 7th century BC equal to about three thousand tons.

It became the envy of the neighbors. And in 571 BC. era was captured by the Assyrians. But just fifty years later, gold became part of Babylon. By this time, hundreds of tons had been collected in Babylon. precious metal brought from Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar.

But Babylon, too, became the subject of envy over time. At that time, almost two million people lived in it, the city was surrounded by triple impregnable walls, it would seem that nothing threatens it, but ... The city was stormed and was taken by the troops of the Persian king Cyrus the Great. The next king (Darius) began to mint gold coins from this gold - dariki (8.4).

It is not difficult to guess that Persia also fell under the blows of Macedonia. All the gold and silver was loaded onto 5,000 camels and 10,000 wagons! From Macedonia alone, Alexander the Great concentrated more than 5,000 tons of gold. This is without counting gold from other countries of India and Central Asia!

Over time, all the wealth migrated to Rome. It was gold that contributed to the corruption of the "city of Rome and the world." In these times, as much gold was collected in Rome as there has never been in free circulation throughout the world.

History repeats itself… The richer we become, the stronger the envy of our neighbors. Such a person by nature ... One of the kings of the Vandals was able to take 600 tons of gold from the destroyed Rome in the 5th century. Do not forget to rob all the Mediterranean countries along the way.

And history repeats itself...

Historians cannot understand why the amount of gold in the world began to decrease after the fall of Constantinople in 1204. The next round begins with the discovery of the New World. In the early years of discovery, 900 kg of gold was brought to Spain. And then, over the course of two hundred years, 2600 tons of this metal were taken out of the New World.

All these treasures that are listed here - no! Where are they? Not a single coin of Caesar, A. Macedon and other no less significant kings has come down to us. Only those insignificant amounts of gold that were stored in the graves of the pyramids or were lost due to catastrophes have come down to us. For example, Pompeii was destroyed by a volcanic eruption.

Someone will say - it was ground to powder and scattered around the world. But don't you think it's so easy? Here everything is much more complicated ... Let's go down to earth and see what happened in the coming times.

Rich placers of gold nuggets were found in 1814 by Brusnitsky in the Urals. Then deposits were found in Transbaikalia (now the Transbaikal Territory) in the Amur region, on the Lena. For a hundred years, these deposits gave up to 17 years for Russia more than 3,000 tons of gold.

By the beginning of World War II, the first crisis arose in the world; it did not affect only the United States. Since by this time the United States contained 21,800 tons of gold. The USSR at that time had a stock of 2600 tons. We should not forget that after the war we had to pay our debt to the United States in pure gold. It is not difficult to guess that all the gold in the world went to America. We repaid our debt, but England never returned to us 440 tons of gold, which she owed us even under the tsar.

Now every year gold production is equal to 2 thousand tons per year. About five hundred tons go to jewelry, about two hundred tons is medicine and technology. The rest is lost. But where it disappears, we will talk further ...
Where does the gold go?

Theory one:

One of the very ancient Sumerian seals (now in the storerooms of the British Museum) depicts some "gods" holding something like cords and pulling them from the Sun. Of the experts and Egyptologists, no one turned their attention to the attribute explaining the picture for what exactly they pull the “cords” from the Sun, what is their purpose and what is the purpose. Let's try to figure this out for you. But first you need to outline the history of the Sumerians. According to their legend, the Anunnaki (Nephilim) arrived on Earth from the planet Nibiru about 450,000 years ago in search of gold - they needed it to restore the atmosphere.

For the first tens of millennia, the Anunaki mined gold on their own, but then a rebellion occurred among the workers and, with the help of genetic engineering, the Anunnaki created people - thanks to which human civilization arose. It was the Nephilim who passed on their knowledge and experience to us, and we, in turn, gave them the gold we mined every 3600 years. (Information taken from Zecharia Sitchin's book 12 The Planet)

Theory two:
If the first theory comes from ancient Sumerian records, then the second is taken from the Vedas.
The Vedas (Sanskrit - "knowledge", "teaching") - a collection of the most ancient sacred scriptures of Hinduism in Sanskrit. For many years, man lived alone on the planet, but after ... other creatures similar to reptiles flew to earth.

This is also reported by Nikolai Levashov and Trekhlebov. Although they do not even report, but say that it was written a long time ago before us. Let's remember what we forgot!

The general theory is that when these creatures flew to earth, they mimicked with the natives, in this case it is us. Interbreeding occurs not only on our planet, but also in other parts of the galaxy. After that, these creatures study all the sacred writings of the people (natives) and begin to use them for their own benefit. After that, they declare themselves God's chosen ones and thereby seize power, force the natives to extract minerals and take them away from the planet. You can’t write everything, that’s why I’m attaching an interview ....

Hypothesis two:

The Sumerian civilization is the oldest on our planet. In the second half of the 4th millennium, it appeared, as if from nowhere.

According to customs, the language of this people was alien to the Semitic tribes who settled Northern Mesopotamia a little later. The racial identity of the ancient Sumer has not been determined so far. The history of the Sumerians is mysterious and amazing. Sumerian culture gave mankind writing, the ability to work metals, the wheel and the potter's wheel. In an incomprehensible way, these people possessed knowledge that relatively recently only became known to science. They left behind so many mysteries and secrets that they rightfully occupy almost the first place among all the amazing events in our lives.

How the ancient Sumerians surprised modern scientists.

After deciphering the Sumerian manuscripts, or rather, cuneiform writing, since the Sumerian writing was precisely wedge, scientists were simply shocked. Let's start with the fact that the Sumerians used the ternary system of calculus.

In fairness, we note that after the Sumerians, until recently, no one had a need for it, because such a system is used only modern technology in the manufacture of computers. In addition, the Sumerians knew and applied the principle of the golden section, used the Fibonacci numbers, had knowledge of the modern level in chemistry, herbal medicine and astronomy.

According to the Sumerians, more than 4 billion years ago there was a grand "heavenly battle" - a catastrophe that changed the entire appearance of the solar system, in particular - changed the tilt of the axes of several planets, which is confirmed by the latest scientific data. The Sumerians had a developed state system - there was a jury, democratic governments based on popular elections, each ancient Sumer had its own protected rights.

Please note that there was no mention of Rome or Ancient Greece yet. It was in Sumer that the first bricks in the world were molded and fired, from which the Sumerians built multi-storey palaces and temples. They still argue about their mines - why did the ancient Sumerians need so much gold and where was it used? The mines are up to 20 meters deep, and more than 100,000 years ago people were already mining gold there industrially.

Cosmogony of the Sumerians.

And only Sumerian mythology sheds light on where the gold went, and why it was needed in the Stone Age.

According to Sumerian cosmogony, 12 planets revolved around the Sun. That is, all the planets known to our science (although Pluto was discovered only in 1930) and one more planet unknown to us, rotating in an elliptical orbit between Mars and Jupiter. The name of this planet is Nibiru, which means "crossing planet". It was so named because its orbit is highly elongated and once every 3600 years Nibiru crosses the entire solar system. According to the Sumerians, it was from Nibiru that the Anunaki descended to Earth. There is a mention of them in the Bible, although they are referred to there as “nifilim” (“descended from heaven”). It was they who "took earthly women as wives", and even more than that - they left offspring.

But something else is much more amazing! According to the Sumerians, the Anunaki first arrived on Earth long before the rise of the Sumerian civilization. And they are the ones who created man. What for? Then, that they were tired of mining gold themselves. The annals say that the Anunaki were long-lived - their age was long, and all this time they mined gold, trying first to extract it from the waters of the Persian Gulf, but to no avail, and after this attempt they took up the mines. There is a version that they needed gold to create a gold-containing shield to protect their planet. Similar technologies exist now in comic projects. That's why the inhabitants of Nibiru left their home planet and settled on Earth. And every 3600 years, when the planets were as close as possible, gold was transported to Nibiru.

Creation of people

According to Sumerian legends, the Anunaki were engaged in gold mining on their own for almost 150 thousand years.

But the outbreak of the uprising jeopardized the entire project of saving Nibiru. And that's when the plan was born to create assistants - people. And this whole process is described in detail, step by step, on the clay tablets of the ancient Sumerians. This information produced the effect of an exploding bomb among geneticists, because everything indicated that the Anunaki were perfectly familiar with both DNA and how to create a person artificially. There is detailed instructions First of all, work must be carried out under sterile conditions. Further, it appears that the egg of a female monkey was taken. Then it was fertilized, but in addition to this, the “essence” was mixed in there - “what binds the memory” (in our understanding of DNA), obtained from the blood of the selected Anunaki purified in a special way. In addition, something was extracted from the blood of the gods, which, very approximately, can be called "soul".

After that, the fertilized and modified egg should be entrusted to "a lot of knowledgeable, young Anunaki", who will "bring the egg to the desired state." Legend has it that at first everything did not go as smoothly as the experimenters would like. Many freaks were born, but in the end, the Anunaki were successful. A successful egg was placed in the womb of a "goddess" who agreed to bear it. So, after a long pregnancy and caesarean section the first man was born. But not one, but many workers in the mines were required. And then, with the help of cloning, a woman was created. Unfortunately, this process is not reflected in any way in the clay tablets, so we can only guess how they did it. The last discovery of Wesley Brown "about the mitochondrial Eve, which is the same for all people of the Earth," indirectly confirmed this legend. When people, having changed more than one or two generations, “became beautiful”, the Anunaki began to “marry” earthly women, from whom they even had viable, healthy offspring.

Unfortunately, having given us their appearance and the opportunity for self-development, the Anunaki did not endow us with their longevity.

Apparently, the Sumerian civilization is not only the most ancient, but also the most mysterious on our planet, and the Sumerians themselves are our distant great-great-great-parents.

IN Russian Federation gold mining by individuals is prohibited. A bill that would allow all willing citizens to engage in small-scale mining has been considered in the Duma for almost seven years! Meanwhile, illegal gold mining in Russia is booming. It is, according to some sources, up to ten percent of the total gold production in the country.

There was a short period in the history of the Russian Federation when the extraction of precious metals and stones was allowed to all citizens of Russia. In 1992, such a bill was passed. Belatedly earned gold-receiving cash desks in Buryatia and Magadan.

And in 1998, the law was repealed: from that time on, only organizations that received licenses could engage in gold mining.

Illegal gold mining

In 2002, the governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, Alexander Lebed, developed amendments and additions to the law “On Precious Metals and precious stones". Lebed offered not only to organizations, but also to individuals, who must obtain licenses for this. He was supported by the governor of the Magadan region Valentin Tsvetkov. The bill was submitted to the State Duma, but it was not adopted.

A new draft law "On alluvial gold mining by individual entrepreneurs" under the number 429535-5 appeared in 2010. It was adopted in the first reading, then the situation stalled. Meanwhile, the law is needed, and many in the gold-mining regions from the Urals to Magadan are waiting for it.

The number of deposits and mines in the country that are not of industrial importance, but they contain some amount of gold, is in the thousands. they only benefit small businesses. A large organization will not go there, because it is not economically profitable for it to work at a facility where, for example, gold reserves are less than 10 kilograms. Therefore, such small deposits become an object illegal mining precious metals.

In Russia, illegal miners extract metal from alluvial deposits. Few people are engaged in mining in vein deposits. This practice is common in Kazakhstan, where people risk their lives by climbing into abandoned mines or paying guards to let them into protected mines.

A hundred years ago, 90 percent of the precious metal was mined from placers, today - no more than 14 percent. But industrial gold mining is mainly focused on the development of vein deposits.

Predators or miners?

Predators are people who mine gold without licenses and permits. The word was known even in pre-revolutionary Russia, since even in those days not everyone could get a license.

The predator's equipment has changed little over the century. This is a pick, a shovel, a tray, primitive devices for. Few use expensive modern means because they can be taken away. And not only law enforcement agencies, but also crime.

All predators dream of getting rich, but only a few succeed. Even if a black prospector attacked a gold-bearing area, selling what he found is a big problem. Most often, the predator itself becomes a victim of crime or envious fellow prospectors.

On the Internet, you can easily find a lot of stories about successful prospectors who received sentences for their work, and the gold was confiscated. A man in Buryatia washed gold all summer, and washed up about three kilograms. He was caught on the highway by FSB officers. Most likely, the lucky predator was handed over by his own prospector friends. The man was sentenced to two years probation and the gold was confiscated.

Extraction of precious metal with the help of a tray is the hardest work. But he is illegal in Russia. Many miners die at the hands of bandits or in the taiga, left without help.

People do not become predators because of a good life. In search of many, it is not a thirst for adventure that drives them, but unemployment, a natural desire to feed their families.

The legalization of alluvial gold mining could solve a lot of problems.

• eliminate unemployment in many settlements;
• to attract people to the regions of Siberia and the Far East, from where there is now a massive outflow of the population;
• increase the production of precious metals in the country;
• to fill the budget due to the delivery of legal gold by the population.

The artisanal method of extraction is very promising in many regions of Russia. Prospectors often find new deposits, such precedents often happened in other countries. Many residents of Buryatia, the Magadan region are ready for non-industrial placers, but they are held back by only one factor - their activities will be considered illegal.

The best way to legalize illegal gold mining is to sell licenses, as in Australia. A license to search and mine gold here can be bought online for $30. Many tourists are attracted by this simple circuit and they travel to the fifth continent in search of gold. How much each tourist finds on average is modestly kept silent by Australian statistics, but any find of a nugget becomes the property of the press. Due to this, tourism in Australia is booming.

Illegal in many countries. Millions of people in Africa and Asia wash sand every day or climb into adits and mines at their own peril and risk. In Mongolia and Kazakhstan, black prospecting is widespread, but few people are punished for their activities. In Peru, a quarter of the gold is mined illegally.

Illegal gold mining flourishes in South Africa and Ghana. According to some reports, about a million is illegally mined in South Africa alone. But the miners cannot sell gold at a normal price in their own country and travel to Zimbabwe. Gold miners earn no more than five dollars a day.

Illegal business does not bring income to diggers and the state in any country in the world. Developing countries who are interested in the development of gold mining, soften the laws, encourage artisanal mining. In many civilized countries, they do not neglect the extraction of precious metals in an artisanal way and sell licenses without red tape and delay.

Punishment for illegal mining

If a prospector mined 20 grams of gold in the taiga with tireless work and was caught “hot”, does he face criminal liability? Most likely no.

The illegal circulation of precious metals in our country was partially decriminalized in 2011.

According to Article 19.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, administrative liability is provided for violation of the established rules for the extraction, production, use, circulation, receipt, accounting and storage of precious metals.

But the gold will be confiscated and a fine of 3,000 to 5,000 rubles will be imposed. It does not provide for the confiscation of equipment.

Criminal liability occurs in the event of the discovery of precious metals in large amounts - in the amount over a million rubles.

But if a prospector is caught on someone else's deposit, he is unlikely to get off with a fine, in which case he faces criminal liability. After all, the deposit is someone's property.

The Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia proposes to allow individual entrepreneurs to mine alluvial gold. Public discussion of amendments to the federal law"On Precious Metals and Precious Stones" and the Law "On Subsoil" has already begun.

And in the Magadan region, which is to become a pilot region for free artisanal prospecting, they are eagerly waiting for the free bring, says Governor Vladimir Pecheny.

Free prospecting is always relevant, because the state does not incur costs, but will receive profits, - the participants of the Prospector's Luck, a gold panning competition taking place in Kolyma, told RG. - There are many worked-out areas where no enterprise will work, because the volumes of metal there are not industrial. But if there is a gram of gold left, a person with a tray will come and pick it up - for his own income, and he will also pay taxes.

By the way, it is estimated that over 80 years of exploitation of alluvial deposits in Kolyma, about 500 million cubic meters of waste have been generated, which are suitable for re-mining. According to estimates, they can produce about a ton of metal, or four percent of the current annual production in the region.

With two hands for free bringing, - says Olga Medvedeva from the dying village of Burkhala, which is 600 kilometers from Magadan. - There is practically no work. Pensioners who previously worked at the mine and are familiar with the artisanal business would have laundered an addition to their pensions. I think that three grams a day is quite realistic to get.

10 percent - this is the share of illegal gold mining in Russia

With the market price of the metal at 2,400 rubles per gram, the villagers are ready to rent it to official structures for 1,500-1,800 rubles.

The bill proposes to wash gold in an old-fashioned way, because it is forbidden to use machines.

This is an unprofessional, in my opinion, idea that mining can only be carried out with a tray, without the use of small-scale mechanization, - Yuri Pruss, head of the Magadan Innovation and Technology Center of the North-Eastern KRI them. ON THE. Shilo FEB RAS. - With a tray, well, you get a couple of grams a day. On the contrary, it is necessary to use machinery, especially since small excavators are being produced that cause minimal damage to nature.

Those who live "on gold" have dozens in their arsenal different ways take out the sand. . A photo: Vitaly Ivanov / TASS

It's no secret that individuals still mine the precious metal. Those who live "on gold" have dozens of simple and ingenious ways to extract the "sand" in their arsenal.

Three rubber mats, a mesh from an old bed, a generator, a pump and a dozen boards - that's all I need to build a flushing device, - Sergey, a former mining foreman from the Yagodninsky district, shares his technology. - I can assemble it in a couple of hours, and disassemble it, if there is any noise, in 20 minutes. With good skills and luck for the season, you can wash it for an apartment in warm regions. And you need to go to the old dumps without unnecessary troubles with a metal detector.

It is no secret that individuals still mine the precious metal, but illegally

It is estimated that the annual volume of illegal gold mining in Russia is about ten percent of legal production.

The mass organization of individuals can lead to the criminalization of this area, - believes Viktor Tarakanovsky, chairman of the Union of Miners of Russia.

But Yuri Pruss objects: "This view surprises me. "Predator" is a hardworking person who works 12-14 hours a day, does not go to the "mainland" for decades, supports his family and does not demand anything from the state. These are people who can ensure their existence by their own work. These are people who in our time - the time of "white collars" - are so lacking in the state.

But we must take into account: if many people go for free bread, there will not be enough people in the mining enterprises, - says the head of the Polevaya artel, Nikolai Derezhenets.

Meanwhile, experts suggest linking free delivery with new tools for the development of the Far East. “We need to lease out the claims - exhausted mines, dumps,” Pruss suggests. “Let a person mine metal there, sell it and pay taxes. The tenant can additionally take land in this claim, set up a vegetable garden, hunt, collect wild plants, receive tourists. in fact, here is a ready-made scheme for the development of the "Far Eastern hectare" in Kolyma.

By the way

In the late 90s of the last century, the administration of the Magadan region tried to legalize private miners. Gold receiving points were organized, where anyone could anonymously hand over the valuable metal to the state. But at the request of the prosecutor's office, they were closed.

Gold is a precious metal that has been mined since ancient times. It may seem that this material is now of no practical value. But even in modern world you can see cases of brutal bloodshed that are directly related to this metal. This article will talk about where you can find gold and how it can be done.

A bit of history

If we go back to the times of Ancient Russia, then it is reliably known that no lands with gold content were found at that time, even though the territory of the state was quite extensive. The ruler Ivan III was obsessed with the goal of finding a noble metal and for this he even invited specialists from distant Italy. But to his regret, only a small piece of gold was found, which was only enough to make a small cross.

The next seeker was Ivan the Terrible. For the sake of gold, he even conquered Siberia with the help of a huge army, but he did not achieve the expected result. The same fate overtook all the other rulers of Ancient Russia. But the turning point in the history of gold mining was the coming to power of Peter I. It was under the rule of this ruler that the first garments and jewelry began to appear, which contained gold and precious stones.

The first gold nugget was mined in 1945 by a Russian peasant from the Urals, who was building a house on the banks of the river.

In the process of digging a hole, he found golden grains of sand. The peasant immediately showed the find to his friend, who was also a silversmith. The master confirmed that the nugget is genuine. Specialists arrived at the place where the grains of sand were found and began further searches. But unfortunately, they left with nothing. And only two years after the discovery of the deposit, a decision was made, according to which it was necessary to continue the search and dig a mine. This decision turned out to be more than successful.

At the bottom of the dug mine was found a large number of gold reserves, which marked the beginning of a larger-scale mining of the metal.

Where to look

The question of how to quickly and efficiently find gold in the ground, as well as in what places it should be done, worries many seekers. In fact, there are many places where gold particles are present, but in very small quantities. If you seriously look for a large mine, then luck may turn to face you, but the likelihood of this is negligible.

A small part of the precious metal can be found in sea water. According to experts, if you separate all sea ​​water from gold reserves, you get about 10,000,000,000 tons of metal. This figure is simply shocking. But at the moment there is no way by which this could be done.

It is pure precious metal that can rarely be found in nature. Most often, gold is found with many impurities, from which the metal will then have to be purified. The most common place where you can large quantities find pure gold without impurities - these are quartz layers.

Under the influence of natural elements, such as wind or rain, the layers are susceptible to destruction. As a result of this process, a solid piece of gold nugget is formed. Also, gold reserves can be deposited in several types:

• Eluvial deposits;
• Residual deposits;
• Bottom sediments;
• Terraced deposits.

Residual deposits can be observed directly near the vein itself, which has been subjected to physical or chemical influence. Eluvial deposits are most often located at the foot of mountains.

This is what quartz layers look like.

Terraced deposits are usually found at the bottom of the river. After a certain time, the river erodes the earth, as a result of which an additional bottom is formed. The old bottom rises above ground level, which is why it is called a terrace.

The terraces, which are several hundred years old, contain a very large amount of gold reserves. Bottom sediments are formed at the bottom of rivers in the form of sediments. With the help of rain, gold moves along the riverbed.

Ore development.

Today, the process of extracting gold deposits is not much different from the extraction of all other metals and ores. First, a deep shaft is made, and then huge pieces of ore are raised to the surface along it, in which there is something that started all these searches and excavations. At the final stages, gold should be separated from all unnecessary elements and impurities. To do this, the metal is ground to a state of powder.

Searching for gold in Russia

There is practically no exact answer to the question of how to find gold in Russia even today. The most promising regions to search for are the Urals, Chukotka, Magadan, and the Amur. It was in these places that nuggets were found, the weight of which was 16 kilograms. Such finds are still in the memory of local residents.

But before you go in search of metal, you need to find out if it is in one place or another. All the necessary information can be provided by geologists or indigenous people who are well versed in the area.

Very often, finding gold deposits is mentioned in newspapers, so in order to collect as much as possible more information, you should refer to the archived data.

Places of industrial extraction.

There are also special geological funds that collect information about gold mining in a particular region. Such funds can be of great help in advancing the search for a profitable mine.

If the places where gold reserves were found, the weight of which is 50 grams and more, became known, then there you can find nuggets several times heavier.

Based on everything that has been said above, it should be concluded that before you go to a particular region in order to start searching for precious metal there, you need to carefully check all the data, analyze the information, view all the photos and videos.

How to search

Finding gold is a very lengthy process that can take years. It is unlikely that in the first days of the search, the digger will find something worthwhile. In order to somehow speed up this process and make it more productive, it is recommended to study a large amount of literature that can teach you how to properly organize your searches.

It has already been said that gold is in quartz layers. To detect them, it is necessary to pay attention to certain signs that are characteristic only for such deposits.

gold mining dredge

After many years, the technologies by which gold was mined in antiquity have not changed much. All that has changed is the work of mechanized machines instead of human labor.

Today, few people are engaged in gold mining using trays, since this method is no longer relevant and widespread. But the technology has survived. Today, many people use a huge machine that has a large number of trays.

A dredge is a device with which water is washed from a river. It is this huge and noisy construction that is able to extract the precious metal from the river rock. Although this method is very efficient and beneficial, it has a very negative impact on the environment. After using the dredge, the riverbeds remain in a deplorable state. But in order to know how to find and then safely extract gold in the river, it is recommended to use a dredge as the most in a simple way gold mining.

Gravitational differentiation

This gold mining technology consists in crushing the rock that contains the metal. After these rocks have been loaded onto trucks, they are taken to special mills. Inside these mills, huge stones are crushed under the pressure of large balls made of strong cast iron.

After grinding, all this mass is placed in a centrifuge, in which the earth and stones are separated from pyrite. Pyrite contains particles of valuable metal. Very often, the brilliance of the mineral is mistaken for real gold.

Modern mining technologies

To date, technological progress has taken a significant step forward. With the help of the latest technology, gold is mined even from poor and almost devastated mines. Balanced deposits are also created.

In order to establish the use of heap leaching, it is enough to spend one year of work. In addition, it is a very profitable investment. In a year, the owner of the mine will be able to hold whole ingots of the precious metal in his hands.

Searching with a metal detector

There is an opinion that it makes no sense to continue the intrigues of gold in the already worked out ore. Indeed, in order to find a few grams of metal, it is necessary to process a whole pile of rock, and this is a huge amount of work. The question arises: how to find gold, with the most accurate determination of its location?

On average, one ton of land accounts for about five kilograms of pure gold. If these data are correct, then metal mining becomes unprofitable. But there are separate places where a fairly large amount of precious metal accumulates. Such places are called deposits. They are found by geologists who have relevant knowledge in this area. In such local accumulations, the gold coefficient is several times higher than usual.

In the deposits you can find nests and columns. These are places where there is much more metal than in all the others. The effectiveness of mining can only be seen when the amount of precious material is calculated relative to the ton of rock that has been processed. In order to find out how such calculations are made, you can study the corresponding video.

To find such deposits, a metal detector is used, which is widely used for such purposes. It significantly increases the level of efficiency and reduces the duration of search operations. If the metal detector points to something, then the sector must be carefully checked and, possibly, even a soil sample should be taken and the rock washed.

Many years of practice has proven that gold nuggets never lie far apart. If one was found, then it makes sense to look further, since there should be more similar specimens nearby.

For the first time, a metal detector began to be used about forty years ago in foreign countries. Today you can see instruments that have excellent sensitivity, which can even indicate small piece metal. The device accurately shows how you can quickly and accurately find gold in nature.

Scientists geologists have tested dozens of devices that were looking for an established object in a variety of conditions, both on land and in deep waters. The test results proved that the metal detectors performed well and that they can carry out full-scale searches.

During the research that was carried out in the Irkutsk region, geologists managed to find more than a hundred nuggets, the total weight of which was more than 1 kilogram. Most often, such specimens are found on the surface of industrial dumps, and not on the surface of the earth, as is usually shown in movies.

Exist different types terrain, which has a peculiar prospect for extraction, so the search should be carried out wherever possible. In order not to be mistaken, there is a more proven and reliable option. Where gold can be found, mining must have already been carried out earlier or they continue to this day. Places where gold has never been mined present no prospect or opportunity for further exploration.

It is important to consider that before your arrival, excavations had already been carried out. Therefore, even if highly qualified specialists could not find anything, then you are unlikely to be more lucky than them. But there are exceptions.

Geologists are interested in areas that have vast volumes. They do not pay attention to distant corners. Therefore, if you search well, then in those far corners you can find a small amount of gold nuggets.

It is better not to save on buying a metal detector.

Small streams high in the mountains are another promising place where you can get metal. Light pebbles are carried away by the current, while heavier ones remain and accumulate at the bottom of the river.

Is it possible to find gold using a conventional, amateur metal detector? Naturally, you can, but it is better to use a tool from 30 thousand rubles, since it greatly simplifies the task.

How much money do you need for a gold mining business

Gold is mined from alluvial and primary (ore) deposits. It is advisable to start gold mining in alluvial deposits. They require less capital investment and are less risky for the investor.

Industrial gold mining from placers requires investments of about 10-100 million rubles, mainly for the purchase of machinery and equipment. The minimum investment (up to 10 million rubles) may be when working under a contract on someone else's site. At the same time, the risks are relatively small: if any problems arise, the equipment can be picked up and moved to another site. At the same time, investments that cannot be returned are minimal.

For independent development of a new alluvial deposit, investments of about 50-100 million rubles are required.

Industrial mining of ore goldrequires 15-20 million dollars, only at the first stages of work: for exploration, research and design. It will be necessary to invest about another 50-200 million dollars in the construction of the mine. The investment cycle at ore deposits is long, gold mining will not begin in less than 5 years, and the payback period of the project may be 10 years or more. In this regard, investments in ore are more risky than in placers: a longer term means a greater risk. An example is the Natalka deposit in the Magadan region. Polyus Gold invested a lot of money in it over 10 years, built a mine and a factory, and the price of gold fell in 2013. Gold mining began only in 2017.

How to find a deposit for gold mining

1. The fastest way to buy an existing gold mine, which already has a license and agreed documents for the extraction of alluvial gold (land allotment, mining project, etc.). Gold mining enterprises are sold quite often, especially small ones with one or two licenses. The main reason for the sale is the lack of mining equipment or working capital. Banks are reluctant to lend to small businesses. License holders often find themselves in a hopeless situation: for inaction, the license should be taken away, and there is no money for work.

To find and choose a good enterprise, place an ad in the Zolotodobycha magazine or on this website:

"I will buy a gold mining enterprise"

“I will buy an enterprise that has a license for gold mining”

In the text of the ad, specify where and what kind of enterprise you need. For example, “I will buy an enterprise that has a license for the extraction of alluvial gold in the Republic of Buryatia.”

After receiving the offers, you can choose what suits you best in terms of conditions and price. You can buy the company in its entirety, or you can buy a share of the company in order to receive part of the mined gold or part of the profit.

2. It is possible not to buy an enterprise, but to conclude an agreement with the license holder to develop its deposit or site. This is the cheapest option. The legal entity - the owner of the license has the right to mine gold independently, as well as to conclude agreements with other legal entities. The registration of all documents and permits is carried out by the owner of the license. The mined gold also belongs to the owner of the license, and the one who works on someone else's site must hand over the gold to him. The license holder will pay the contractor for the extracted gold at the price specified in the contract or under a production sharing agreement.

To find an enterprise, give or in the magazine "":

“I will rent a plot for gold mining”

Indicate the area and your capabilities: the availability of equipment, specialists.

Contracts between legal entities are quite widespread. Especially often, large enterprises give under the contract unfinished or remote areas to small artisanal artels with a pair of bulldozers and a flushing device.

Buying a placer or working under a contract is a real option to get gold in a few months.

3. Buying a placer license at an auction is currently less attractive. There are almost no good placers at auctions. They can offer something like: “the right tributary of the Veseliy river with predicted resources of category P2 - 140 kg or “The upper reaches of the stream. Wide - predicted resources of category P3 - 40 kg, etc. Forecast resources are "whether it will be or not." And they offer you to find out for your money. After purchasing a license, you will be required to conduct exploration, count, and approve reserves, if any. If there are no stocks, then no one will return the money to you. Consumer Rights Act does not apply here.

At best, you can start gold mining in 2-3 years, having spent about 10-20 million rubles on exploration and other work.

Due to the lack of good objects at auctions, it is more attractive to purchase an enterprise that has a license. Available good deposit with explored and approved reserves and quickly extract real gold.

Optimal sequence of actions

It is necessary to start a business with an assessment of your financial capabilities and the choice of an object for them that provides a return of funds and a profit in a timeframe acceptable to you. In terms of financial opportunities, the main options are as follows.

- If you don't have money to invest and you're hoping to make money out of gold by investing nothing but your own labor, you'd better get a job with an established business. Write a few words about yourself in the section: .

- In the presence of 3-10 million rubles. it is possible to start gold mining under an agreement with an existing gold mining enterprise for the development of a separate area. This a good option to start a business.

- Funds up to 30-50 million rubles., you can invest in an enterprise that already has a license and needs funds for production. That is, to enter the business by buying a share in the enterprise.

- 50-100 million rubles allow you to buy an enterprise at the "zero" stage of work or unprofitable, and transform it into a profitable one through technical modernization.

- If investments are possible (50-100 million rubles) for several years, then you can purchase a new object at the auction.

1. The choice of the field. You can still find a good placer () now, and you need to choose the one that will allow you to achieve high profitability. It's not worth taking anything just because it's close to home. This placer can be complex in structure, require increased capital investments and, at the same time, be unprofitable. To evaluate placers and select the most promisingneeded, first of all,

The presence of a geological report on the object and approved reserves is not enough. Reserves can be either less or more than calculated by exploration. It's good when there is more gold, but sometimes less. An experienced geologist should help in assessing the object, if necessary, carry out verification work. In addition, the geologist must collect data for mining design and enrichment.

The choice of an object for acquisition must be taken as carefully as possible. If you intend to invest millions of dollars in a business, then saving on collecting information is not worth it. The more options you find, the more you will be able to choose a good deposit and make a profitable investment. Give a few ads, invite an experienced specialist to evaluate the proposals received. Choose the best.

An ore deposit requires investments of tens and hundreds of millions of dollars. For the selection and evaluation of an ore object, it is advisable to involve specialized firms and the best geologists, although this is not cheap.

2. The second most important thing is mining. Perhaps, at first glance, this is not the most difficult thing, since the mining technology is well known. In any city, pits are being dug for houses and other objects. But mining on placers and in construction are fundamentally different. In construction, the cost of a cube is insignificant, since its share in the cost of a house is negligible. At placers, mining is the main cost item. Therefore, a well-calculated and economical mining project is needed, taking into account the specific characteristics of the placer and with economic calculation. Contact the experts.

3. The third thing is the execution and approval of documents. If you do not draw up paperwork correctly, you will have to pay fines and you can earn serious trouble if representatives of regulatory authorities follow the letter of the law.

4. Fourth, the organization of production, including its financing. Constant control over expenses is necessary so that the money does not run out at the most inopportune moment, and they are enough for good equipment suitable for the facility. The acquisition of cheap second-hand equipment often ruins the best business. The cost of a cubic meter of displaced rock mass increases when using old equipment. The equipment must ensure trouble-free operation during the season (4-5 months). A cheap flushing device can also spoil the case due to large losses of gold.
