Do you think there are traces of the mining industry on Earth in ancient times? Of course they exist, and the clearest evidence is the colored mountains in China.
The colorful mountains in China are found in several provinces in the southern and southeastern parts of the country. According to the official version, they were formed as a result of deposits of red sandstone, as well as conglomerates of the Cretaceous period. Consequently, their age is approximately 120-160 million years. The formation itself took place due to erosion and weathering, and of course the direct influence of the environment.
It is believed that millions of years ago there was a huge pool in these territories, then, due to high temperatures, the pool dried up, and the silt oxidized and took on the color of rust. As official researchers write, the soil layered on top of each other, forming mysterious patterns.
However, scientists could not repeat this process, and no one will stretch the experiment for millions of years, therefore scientists demand to believe only the official version as the truth. I propose to consider the modern process of rock dressing in order to better understand whether the colored mountains in China can be attributed to the waste of this industry.
The source of obtaining metals, as well as many types of raw materials, are minerals. The enrichment of minerals is a set of processes in the primary processing of minerals extracted from the bowels of our planet. Also, there is a separation of useful minerals from waste rock. The purpose of these manipulations is to mechanically and chemically separate minerals based on their physical and chemical differences. Thus, a number of products with a high, medium and low content of valuable components are distinguished. However, waste rock can become a valuable raw material for further processing, and sometimes even a product for further use.

And so, the processes of processing minerals for their intended purpose, in the technological cycle of the factory, are divided into preparatory, beneficiation and auxiliary. Preparatory operations include crushing, grinding and classification, as well as operations of averaging minerals, which may well be carried out in mines. For the enrichment of minerals, physical and chemical properties are used, a special place is occupied by color, luster, hardness, density, cohesion, magnetic and electrical properties.
Differences in color are used for manual demolition or sampling of rocks from coals. Waste can be divided into two groups, one of which is clay, among which there are red and red-brown with a significant iron content, as well as low-iron, which are white and yellow. The colored mountains of China as well as Peru have reddish, yellowish pink and sandy as well as clayey sedimentary rocks. The photo also shows heap leaching of gold, it looks like you don't have to wait millions of years to get these hues. This means that the mountain may bloom, the same echo of antediluvian civilization.
