• Description: Waste rock pile at Dlouhá Ves has been investigated using geochemical and mineralogical methods. Principal arsenic mineral at excavation site was goethite and at outcrop site it was minerals of jarosite-beudantite group. Arsenic in beudantite and scorodite seems to be raletively immobile during leaching experiments.
