Read More2019-2-4 Placer mining is used when the metal of interest is associated with sediment in a stream bed or floodplain. Bulldozers, dredges, or hydraulic jets of water (a process called ‘hydraulic mining’) are used to extract the ore. Placer mining is usually aimed at removing gold from stream sediments and floodplains. Because placer mining often occurs within a streambed, it is an environmentally-destructive type of mining, releasing large quantities of sediment that can impact surface water for several miles downstream of the placer mine.
