The widespread use and improvement of laser technologies in the economies of the most developed countries is a global trend in world development. The use of laser technologies is crucial for increasing labor productivity and competitiveness of the national economy, expanding the possibilities of its integration into the world economic system. The possibility of using laser technologies for the processing of technogenic mineral raw materials is considered. The ability of laser radiation to create high heat flux densities in a locally limited area of the surface, sufficient to heat, melt, or evaporate almost any material, is the basis for laser processing of materials. An LS-06 technological cw ytterbium fiber laser with a wavelength of 1060 nm serves as a powerful source of a directed energy flux during laser processing. The effect of continuous laser radiation on mineral objects containing gold, which cannot be extracted by gravitational methods, has been studied. As the studied objects, natural mineralogical samples with an aluminosilicate matrix from a placer deposit were selected. All mineralogical samples contained metal particles, including gold in the form of impurities. As a result of laser processing of gold-bearing mineralogical samples, the formation of fused objects - conglomerates was established. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that after laser energy exposure, the samples were superficially micro-inhomogeneous silicate cakes, on the surface of which agglomerated crystal structures of gold were formed, ranging in size from 300 nm to 30 μm. It has been established in the work that the optimal radiation power of this laser source is in the range from 90 to 180 W.
