The possibility of utilization wastes resulting from mining and burning lignite using the method of microbiological leaching has been presented. It has been found, that high yield (40-80%) of the recovery of metals (Cu, As, Mn, Ga, Be, V, Ti) in the presence of a mixture of Thiobacillus bacteria: T. ferrooxidans and T. thiooxidans, is possible. The effectiveness of metals leaching (basing on titanium extracted) was high both with autochthonous and museum strains of bacteria used.
