As emphasized by the developers of the amendments, the current legislation does not provide for the right of individual entrepreneurs to wash gold. It is written only to legal entities, so from the point of view of the law to private owners for the field course ordered. If the change is accepted, the gold prospectors, traders will be able to come to the areas where placer gold is mined. However, it will be the poorest. The bill and said the stations will provide on the worked placers where there are no reported mineral reserves or they are, but do not represent commercial value. Parameters sites also spelled out – 0,2 sq. km high near human settlements (the second requirement for security to the prospector in the case of the arrival of uninvited guests could call for help). To wash the gold will have in the canons of the era of the American “gold rush”: any industrial machinery, drilling rigs, pumps for water and machinery. Of the permitted equipment only machines for loading, otherwise only manual labor with buckets and wheelbarrow. But the trouble with bureaucracy is not. As stated in the bill, the prospector, the owner would not have to go through the procedure of examination of mineral reserves, geological inspection, coordination of technical projects. Even to prove their professionalism in the case of gold mining and the availability of Finance, the new law does not require. To work IP, as specified in the document should be on their own, without hiring anyone. To distribute plots are planned with a limit of one per year. Seasonally adjusted to keep the earth the miners will be able three years.

Says the Chairman of the Union of miners of Russia Viktor Tarakanov: “We are categorically against this initiative. Individual entrepreneurs are entitled to hire their at least a hundred people. Otherwise it is impossible to get, especially by hand, when there is only a wheelbarrow, a pick and rinsing. We have calculated these areas, as specified in amendment 40 pieces, all in Kolyma. That is the lawn for forty people? Pan now, almost anything is possible. If you get one gram of gold per cubic meter of sand (1500 kg) is happiness. And the rate – 0.5 grams per cubic meter of sand. The amount of conventional cars – 0.03 cubic meter. Stakhanov car – 0.1 cubic meter. A lot of whether one person will be able to coach to earn this one gram of gold?”.
