Abstract

Valentin E. Chernyakov

The article considers the problem of legal regulation of extraction of alluvial gold from technogenic mineral formations (dumps) in the Russian Federation. The relevance of the topic is due to the growing interest in the processing of mining waste and the need to optimize legislation in this area. The work analyzes the existing regulatory framework, and identifies gaps and contradictions in legal regulation. The positions of the professional and scientific community are also analyzed. Additional attention is paid to licensing, environmental protection and the rights of local communities. In conclusion, recommendations are offered for improving the legal and management mechanism aimed at sustainable and efficient use of technogenic mineral resources, which can contribute not only to economic development, but also to improving the environmental situation in the regions, including in the gold-bearing areas of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
