Recovering gold from concentrate, on the small scale mining site in Akanteng, near Akwatia, Ghana In the first stage, ores have been processed on the wash plant such as Soagum. The resulting concentrate is brought nearby river, and the concentrate is being processed once again, to produce concentrate with higher gold content.

Read MoreIn the ancient world gold was mined mainly from alluvial occurrences using gravity methods combined with the use of mercury (amalgamation), a method that is still used today in small-scale alluvial gold mines worldwide. Cyanide, which was first used in the 1880s, is used in large-scale hardrock mines to recover gold, silver, copper, and other metals from porphyry and disseminated ore deposits.

Mercury-based artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) causes more mercury pollution than any other human activity. 1 In this practice, mercury metal is used to extract gold from ore as a stable amalgam. The amalgam is then heated to evaporate the mercury and isolate the gold.
