Megaliths and uranium mines

For help in the preparation of this material.

Is there any other evidence that the remains, pillars, are masses from the thickening of waste during ancient mining of metals by borehole underground leaching? Other than the possible caves below them? It turns out that some of these remnants are located in uranium deposits.

Abandoned uranium mines in Chukotka. The mine shaft goes right under the remnants!


The remains are located on some hills. Perhaps there are caves inside them and there is still a certain amount of uranium left. A tip for geologists. Or do they know about this relationship?

Kekurs or weathering pillars as geology calls them here

Of course, the remnants are not on all the hills, and something is left for man. Barracks of the camp mine. You can see the dumps from the underground working, made by the prisoners.

Height map. Pay attention to how many places with remnants are located there!

Old photo of CHAUNLAG - uranium mine

Mine 62 km. (dev.) OLP Chaunlag

High-quality surveys of the former uranium objects of Chaunlag (Chukotka, 70 km northeast of Pevek):

The Chaunsky ITL (Chaunlag, ITL Upr. p / box 14) of the Dalstroy Gulag functioned from August 1951 to April 1953. The maximum number of prisoners working there at the same time reached 11,000 people. Chaunlag was founded to develop a uranium deposit discovered in 1947.

The first uranium in the USSR began to be mined back in the 1920s. in Tajikistan. The first industrial reactor near Chelyabinsk was launched in 1948. The first atomic explosion in Kazakhstan was carried out in 1949. And here, east of Pevek, development began only in 1950. Obviously, in fact, Pevek uranium could not be the raw material for the first Kurchatov tests. Rather, for the first Soviet mass-produced atomic warheads, which began to be produced in 1951.

Vicinity of the "Eastern" mine. In the background, the mountain looks like a giant waste heap. Perhaps they used different technologies, like we do now?

It is very likely that these modern dumps are located on the site of giant ancient

OLP "Vostochny". Destroyed barracks against the backdrop of kekurs and dumps.

In the early 1950s uranium production at Dalstroy has consistently grown. For 1948-1955 Dalstroy produced about 150 tons of uranium in concentrate. But the cost of local uranium was quite high, constantly exceeding the planned one. In 1954, the cost of 1 kg of uranium concentrate according to Dalstroy was 3,774 rubles. with a planned one of 3057 rubles. The average content in the North was 0.1 percent. This is approximately one kilogram of uranium per ton of ore. In those years, poor ores were also used. But even then such deposits were called small, and now it is not even considered a deposit. Yes, ore occurrence. And there were large deposits in Romania, but ours were discovered, and a lot of uranium was transported from there, then from Germany.

In connection with the mass amnesty of prisoners, work began to gradually curtail. During 1956, the last uranium mining facilities of Dalstroy in Chukotka were liquidated.

More photos of these places:

Dumps of rock among kekurs. So here they mined uranium right under them

And here there is even some sense in their location.

A similar place where remnants adjoin uranium mines is not the only one.

Kolyma. Abandoned uranium mine. Again remnants, megaliths. There is definitely a connection with uranium mining. Not with modern loot. And from the last, larger one. We mine in the old poor mines after someone. We eat snacks.

Remnant and modern dumps

From the moment of its organization in 1937, the Butugychag mine was part of the YuGPU - the Southern Mining Administration and at first was a tin mine.
in February 1948, at the Butugychag mine, a camp department No. 4 of a special camp No. 5 - Berlag "Coast Camp" was organized. At the same time, uranium ore began to be mined here. In this regard, Combine No. 1 was organized on the basis of the uranium deposit.
A hydrometallurgical plant with a capacity of 100 tons of uranium ore per day began to be built at Butugychag. As of January 1, 1952, the number of employees in the First Directorate of Dalstroy increased to 14,790 people. This was the maximum number of people employed in construction and mining operations in this department. Then a decline also began in the extraction of uranium ore, and by the beginning of 1953 there were only 6130 people in it. In 1954, the supply of workers for the main enterprises of the First Directorate of Dalstroy fell even more and amounted to only 840 people at Butugychag.

Don't you think that there are more ancient dumps in the background?

The slopes of these hills consist of such a small kurumnik. Well, why not dumps of waste rock? Erosion destroys rocks into sand and dust, and not into small and not very stone.

If you do not report that this is supposedly natural, then it will completely pass for mounds of waste rock

Layered remnants in the background

In conclusion, I will add information about borehole in-situ leaching (ISL):

The usual way of mining uranium is to extract the ore from the bowels, crush it and process it to obtain the desired metals. In SPV technology, also known as solution mining, the rock is left in situ, holes are drilled across the deposit area, through which fluids are then pumped to leach the metal from the ore. In world practice, in the process of SPV, solutions based on acids and alkalis are used, however, in Russia, as well as in Australia, Canada and Kazakhstan, the latter are not used, preferring sulfuric acid H2SO4. The extraction of radioactive metal in our country is carried out by the traditional mine method and the modern method of borehole in-situ leaching (ISL). The latter already accounts for more than 30% of the total production volume.

The main role in the downhole underground leaching process is played by pumps. They are used already at the very first stage - pumping out groundwater, to which an acidic reagent and an oxidizing component based on hydrogen peroxide or oxygen are then added. Then, using downhole equipment, the solution is pumped into the geotechnical field. The uranium-enriched liquid enters the production wells, from where it is again sent to the processing plant with the help of pumps, where, in the process of sorption, the uranium settles on the ion-exchange resin. Then the metal is chemically separated, the suspension is dehydrated and dried to obtain the final product. The process solution is again saturated with oxygen (if necessary, with sulfuric acid) and returned to the cycle.

And another example, but from a different place. Notice the details in this photo of a polystratic tree fossil:

It is possible that the waste rock was poured directly into the forest using the SPV technology (if we talk about the topic of underground leaching of metals). And it has nothing to do with the flood. Unfortunately, I don't know the location.
