The article presents the study results for the processing of industrial waste from copper production at copper smelter Kazakhstan. The samples taken were analysed with the help of X-ray fluorescence and phase analyses which showed that the composition of the studied raw materials was determined as silicate, oxidized, and copper was in a mixed form with a total content of 0.481%, including some in the form of sulfates and sulfides. Mineralogical analysis showed the presence of magnetite, hematite and martite, while copper was present in various mineralogical formations - from magnetic fractions mainly with very fine dusty micron dissemination to native copper and copper minerals. Beneficiation studies performed included flotation and gravity methods. As a result, a concentrate with a copper content of 9.35% was obtained during gravity beneficiation, and a concentrate with a copper content of up to 46% was obtained during flotation. Copper was extracted from beneficiated raw materials with a sulfuric acid leaching method in agitation mode. The solid residue analysis conducted after (cake) leaching also showed the content of the noble metal - gold at the level of 0.47 g/t enabling us to consider its extraction in the future as an additional valuable component.
