Annotation. In the article, results of research of the basalt production state in the quarries of the Rivne and Volyn regions and its mineralogical and chemical composition are presented. In the process of the research, experience and results of researches obtained by other authors and geological parties in this field was taken into account. Today, basalt is produced mainly for the construction industry in the form of crushed stone, booth, etc. It is established that the basalt deposit contains tuff and lava-breccia, which are not used and are stored in dumps. At the same time, all the three components of the deposit (basalt, tuff and lava-breccia) have a complex mineralogical composition. Laboratory studies determine that they contain iron, titanium, manganese, and native copper in quantities that present commercial interest. As an example, percentage of magnetically-susceptible part in basalt was studied in July, 2019 in the following quarries: Rafalovsky (75-80% in the western wing of the quarry and 44-56% in the eastern one), Polytsky quarry (90-95%), Ivanovo Valley quarry (80-85%), Berestovsky quarry (26%). These figures were obtained in the ore deposits that are developed today for producing crushed stone only. Besides, according to atomic absorption analysis and ion-plasma electroscopy of lava-breccia, additionally to up to 5% of cooper (industrial content), the ores contain silver (up to 62 g/t), gold (up to 2.9 g/t), palladium (up to 2.8 g/t) and rhodium (up to 0.541 g/t).

On this basis, it is proposed to process the mined rock mass, and, to this effect, to create step-by-step an enterprise for a comprehensive waste-free technology on processing basalt raw materials and producing native copper, titanomagnetite and, from the remaining silicate part, other products (for example, to produce basalt cotton wool for heat- and sound insulation, or high-strength fabric, which is already used in other countries for manufacturing cords for the belt conveyors and cords for tires of heavy vehicles). In future, with further development of the production, it will be advisable to raise as issue on extraction of valuable and rare metals, for example silver, content of which in the basalt rock mass is of commercial interest.

Keywords: basalt, tuff, lava-breccia, mineralogical composition, complex processing of basalt raw materials, extraction of copper, iron, titanium.
