The material composition of the gold-containing tailings of the flotation beneficiation of the Zholymbet ore deposit was studied. It was determined that the samples contain 0,9 g/t of gold, 1,22 g/t of silver. The flotation technologices of technogenic gold-containing raw materials with the use of basic and ultramicroheterogeneous flotation reagents were developed. The content of gold in a draft gold concentrate, in comparison with the basic mode, increases by 2,28 g/t - with 19,56 to 21,84 g/t. The extraction of gold in concentrate increased - by 5,52 % - with 66,07 % to 71,59 %. Thus the consumption of collectors is cut for 50 g/t, with 130 to 80 g/t.
