Abstract
The geology-economic aspects of processing coal industry waste with recovering scarce metals from ash-slag waste in Kusbas are considered in the report. Geological, technological, and economic conditions are used as criteria for geology-economic assessment of the scarce metals according to the recommendations of UN reserve/resources classification. Based on the level of exploration, the presence of technologies for recovering scarce metals and the level of their demand, reserves of a number of scarce metals in ash-slag waste in Kuzbas can be evaluated as potentially economical, i.e. promising for recovering in short and medium-term prospect.
