Data from a comprehensive mineralogical and technological study of two samples of Southern Urals pyrite ores is presented. The influence of textural and structural features and mineral composition on the liberation of sulfides during ore dressing is demonstrated using an optical microimage analysis system, with the results processed in the specialized software Mineral C7. The results of studies regarding dressability of these ores with floatation method are presented.
