The results of the research of the fine gold recovery from Yukutian goldbearing tailings was described in the monography. The de-scription of peculiarities of the placer gold processing technological properties is given, which are the reason of the losses on the first stage of the mineral processing. The experimental results on qualitative and quantitative fine gold contents in the tails was analysed. The methods and devices of sand processing was invented, which are ensuring an increase of the efficiency of the fine gold recovery from sand . The technique of the gold leaching from placer black sand was considered.
