The procedure consists in preparation of charge out of concentrates or ores with halogenide, in charge roast, in extraction of gaseous compounds, in their condensation, in production gold containing ash, and in leaching gold out of it. Charge is prepared out of concentrate or ore and ammonia chloride and/or fluoride at weight ratio 100.3-3.0.
