Technological development problem of thin dispersion copper ores of Middle Timan

Features of litho-facial composition of the tuffaceous-sedimentary copper deposits of Kynov variegated horizon of the Upper Devonian (Cillma ore-bearing area) in the Middle Timan were characterized. Twelve lithological types of the copper rocks with thin dispersion ore impregnation were distinguished. The methodical plan of mineralogical-geochemical and technological investigations of similar rocks was given. Experimentally verified methods of the thermal treatment of the rocks with thin dispersion mineralization were proposed to isolate synthetic phases of the segregation «metal-intermetallic». Metalliferous potential of nyt rocks with thin dispersion copper mineralization are determined as one percentage and conducted research are very important practically.
