Abstract
Due to the long-term and intensive development of the richest deposits with favorable operating conditions, the extraction of mineral resources is increasingly shifting to areas with harsh climatic and mining and geological conditions, where there is no infrastructure of any kind. The balance reserves of many deposits are often insufficient for their profitable industrial development. Therefore, the possibility of development of placer deposits by means of small-scale mechanization is considered. An analytical model is worked out, allowing to carry out the choice of the mining method, technologies and methods of conducting works are offered. High economic efficiency of application of the developed equipment complexes in real conditions is demonstrated.
