Based on the developed methodology, a computer-based calculation program has been compiled to select the optimal options for developing small-scale deposits. The source data includes the distances from the deposits to the base plant, the content in the ore and concentrate, extraction at the plant and in the quarries during heap leaching, the cost of extracting metal from the ore at the plant and processing the concentrate, the cost of heap leaching during the technological process and losses due to under-extraction of gold in this method [1].
