This is done in order to determine the appropriate processing technique. Step #7 – Processing (on-site) Once ore is extracted, processing it into pure gold

The Miller process uses gaseous chlorine to extract impurities when gold is at melting point; impurities separate into a layer on the surface of the molten purified gold.

Smelters typically pay >95% (Au) and 90% (Ag) in copper and lead concentrates, but will only pay 60-70% (maximum, depending on degree of Pb/Zn smelter integration) for gold and silver in zinc concentrates. Cost drivers are also important in flowsheet selection, and are summarised in Table 3.

Their in-depth surveys pinpoint select gold regions where a prospector’s chances of finding gold are most likely. The American Mining Rights Association (AMRA) also keeps tabs on gold hot spots.

The ore is first reduced in size (typically 80% passing 75µm) to ensure that all non-refractory gold is readily accessible for cyanide leaching. There are several variations of comminution circuits used in the ...
