Head of research group, candidate of geological and mineralogical sciences, Dr. Elkhan Mammadov /Baku State University/, his lab has discovered placer gold deposits in submountain beds of Kura molas basin and gold beds in prospective oil structures near Shamkir Hydroelectric Power Station. “Our research group was the first to take out a patent for method of search of placer gold deposits,” he said. Dr. E. Mammadov noted that according to preliminary estimations, gold deposits are expected to be discovered also in Siazan, Khachmaz, Gazanbulag and Naftalan. “The proposed method can be used in Pakistan, Romania, North America, as well. Now, we are about to start manufacturing gold extracting machines in collaboration with Experimental-industrial plant under the Institute of Oil and Chemical Processes,” Dr. E. Mammadov concluded.
