The gold mining operation stage represents the productive life of a gold mine, during which ore is extracted and processed into gold. Processing gold involves transforming rock and ore into a metallic alloy of substantial purity – known as doré – typically containing between 60-90% gold.

Mining and extraction: Gold is typically mined from the Earth using various methods, such as placer mining, lode mining, and heap leaching. Once extracted, gold ore is processed to extract the gold metal using techniques such as crushing, grinding, gravity separation, and chemical processes like cyanidation.

In 2012, two barges carrying high-grade gold ore presumably from Avlayakan mine, capsized and sank in the Okhotsk Sea. With remarkable 18.2 g/t ore grade, this open-pit mine sits first in...

Gold was among the first metals to be mined because it commonly occurs in its native form, that is, not combined with other elements, because it is beautiful and imperishable, and because exquisite objects can be made from it.

Ores. The major ores of gold contain gold in its native form and are both exogenetic (formed at the Earth's surface) and endogenetic (formed within the Earth). The best-known of the exogenetic ores is alluvial gold. Alluvial gold refers to gold found in riverbeds, streambeds, and floodplains.

How to maximize the opportunity: Mine-design optimization, digital-technology application, and asset-portfolio planning. In order to generate the most value from refractory gold ores and prevent longer-term distress due to grade erosion, we see three main areas for action that miners should consider:

Gold is mined using four different methods. Placer mining, hard rock mining, byproduct mining and by processing gold ore. Placer mining is the technique of extracting gold accumulated in a placer deposit. Placer deposits are composed of relatively loose material that makes tunneling difficult, so most extraction methods involve water or dredging.

Gold can be freed from these ores or concentrates by treating them with various oxidizing processes. The most common method is to roast gold-bearing minerals at temperatures of 450° to 750° C (840° to 1,380° F) to destroy the interfering sulfides.
