the shift workers who arrive at pevek airport immediately board a bus and go to the mayskoye deposit, mine is 180 km from the regional center, no one wastes time here, in the morning they go to work in full gear, without which they won’t let you into the mine. this is a self-rescuer, this is a mandatory part of the equipment, we never part with it, a helmet is a must on... a flashlight, like this, a high beam, in addition, this flashlight has two systems: positioning notification, that is, the dispatcher at the top sees the position, sees where it is. the owner of this lantern. now we are in a mine at a depth of 640 m. it is cold here, people who are not used to it feel dizzy from lack of oxygen. they move around here by car, the tunnel is narrow, it is scary to drive. the work is difficult, but the result is impressive. in a year , 4 tons of gold are mined at mayskoye, which is one of the five largest gold deposits in the country. this is how the face is being laid. the electrohydraulic mine boring machine is working installation. the machine drills horizontal inclined boreholes, hol

at first , gold was washed near pivek, and then in the area of ​​the future mayskoye deposit , placervers. in 1970 , the may expedition was formed. geologists drilled 400 exploratory wells and determined the location of ore bodies. the data was sent to the state committee on reserves and deposits. knew that they were ready for industrial development, geologists determined that everything happened as a result of hydrothermal processes, that is , the removal of useful ore components from the depths along weakened zones on surface, that is, on the surface were found aurolites, carrying with them gold associated minerals, lead, zinc, copper, on the basis of this then were carried out surface geology-exploration work, was carefully carried out recogation. territory and naturally through chemical analysis all this was selected, described, selected with the help of trenches, and through chemical analysis it was determined that from gold. in other words, there was gold, but it was contained in refractory sulphide ores, and there were no profitable methods for enrichment, the price of gold was

the history of mayskoye began in 1950, during this era in chukotka they were looking for tin, uranium the chaunskaya exploration geologist". far from pivek, and then in the area of ​​the future mayskoye deposit , placer gold was discovered in the rivers. in 1970 , the may expedition was formed, geologists drilled 400 exploratory wells and established the location of ore bodies. the data was sent to the state committee on reserves and the deposit was recognized as ready for industrial development. geologists determined that everything happened as a result of hydrothermal processes, that is, the removal of the useful ore component. were deepened along weakened zones to the surface, that is, aurolites were found on the surface, carrying gold , associated minerals, lead, zinc, copper. on this basis , surface geological exploration work was then carried out, a thorough reconnaissance of the territory was carried out, and naturally, through chemical analysis, all this was selected, described, selected using trenches, and through cimonalization it was determined that from gold, in other word
