Massive, base metal arsenical gold ores are rare, and there are only a few deposits in the world. A typical arsenical gold ore contains arsenopyrite as the major arsenic mineral. However, some arsenical gold ores, such as those from Nevada in the USA Getchel deposit, contain realgar and orpiment as the major arsenic bearing minerals.
The challenge of attaining economic extraction of gold from refractory ores is one of the main challenges in the mining industry today, as less refractory orese more depleted. It is thus important to properly select an extraction method for refractory ores, based on mineralogy, precious metal grades, gold to sulphur ratios and hazardous impurities Mark Aylemore, 2008.
Cyanidation tests after 38 iron removal by electrooxidation resulted in a gold extraction increase of approximately 29 and a cyanide consumption decrease of about 31 .
21/02/2011· Gold bearingite may be found in massive deposits where the gold is often invisible to the naked eye with the gold often being disseminated throughout the entire deposit ofite. The lower bodies in this type of deposit can be presented as one in particular, tubular or more rarely as sheet deposits.

SMS deposits form through hydrothermal activity cold seawater percolates down through the seafloor, is heated through geothermal energy,es buoyant and rises, dissolving metals and sulfides from the surrounding rocks.
Arsenical gold ores that do not contain significant base metals are treated using a bulk flotation method, where all the sulphides are first recovered into a bulk concentrate. In case the gold is contained either in pyrite or arsenopyrite, separation of pyrite and arsenopyrite is practiced. There aremercial methods available.
Gold in massive sulfides of the BMC has never been. Metals extraction strikes gold IOM3. Speed of extraction is another area that Conti says cannot be beaten. We have been testing sulphide ores and are able to do the entire process, from sulphur reduction, extraction and recovery to powdered gold, in an hour and a half.

Many important metals are present inbined with sulfur as metal sulfides these include cadmium, cobalt, copper, lead, molybdenum, nickel, silver, and zinc. In addition, gold and platinum group metals are associated with sulfidic base metal ores. The extraction of metals from their ores has been an essential factor in the creation and
massive sulfide INTRODUCTION Seafloor massive sulfides SMS are the third kind of discovered deep sea minerals besides ferromanganese nodules and cobalt rich ferromanganese crusts Sharma, 2017. They occur in water depths around 2504,000 m Koschinsky et al., 2018. SMS are characterized by a high base metal and sulfide content.
21/02/2011· Gold bearingite may be found in massive deposits where the gold is often invisible to the naked eye with the gold often being disseminated throughout the entire deposit ofite. The lower bodies in this type of deposit can be presented as one in particular, tubular or more rarely as sheet deposits.
Cumulative frequency of gold grades of felsic volcanic massive sulfide deposits. .. 12 8. Cumulative frequency of massive body of massive sulfides, which may been economic at earlier times when metal prices were higher or the cost of extraction was lower. For
The gold mining and extraction business is a very tightmunity that does not give up its secrets easily. It seems everyone has an opinion from the massivepanies to local hacks with varying styles they use to release the gold molecules from other evasive metals like lead, iron and a host of pyrites and sulfides.
The massive sulphide ovoid is the focus of attention its surface plan is roughly circular and about 300 metres in diameter and it extends to a maximum depth of more than 100 m. $270, a tonne of ore from the Daniel's Harbour Zinc Mine around $85, and a tonne of
gold from 0.03 to 1,7 ppm Au. Zn rich sulfides from the moundmonly gold rich, with an average of 9.5 ppm Au and a median value of 6.0 ppm Au n = I5. White smokers from a low temperatureplex on the mound have gold contents of up to 42 ppm Au. In the white smokers, gold is present as submicroscopic particles or as
05/11/2017· About the sulfides. Ive seen massive erratics certainly a few 100kg in size and think theyre hydrothermal in origin. But theres certainly sulfides from volcanic veins and metamorphic origin too. Some still have mother rock on them i can identify as been from a specific area. Theyre far smaller not many have cubic crystalline structures.
28/10/2021· Brief extraction method of quartz gold ore Once you find gold in quartz ore, you can extract gold by the flowing steps: 1 Use a sledgehammer to break the rock into smaller pieces. 2 Place a steel anvil in a large pan to prevent the loss of the gold contained in the quartz stone.
Seafloor massive sulfide SMS deposits, also known as hydrothermal ore deposits or black smoker vents, form when a magmatic heat source drives the circulation of seawater through the ocean crust, where it leaches metals from the rocks. Metals may also be contributed by magmatic fluids that are degassing from the underlying magma chamber.
18/04/2016· Sulphides require very fine grinding for maximum extraction, then are returned to circuit. Gangue carries some gold that is easily recovered at coarse mesh. Sulphides such as copper or zinc, etc., are present which can be recovered and sold at a profit for
Nordwick, 1996. Finally the alkaline sulfide solutions which are barren of gold can be recycled for further gold leaching or further processed with low temperature oxidation to sodium sulfate, Na 2SO 4. This has been practiced in industry. The resultant sodium sulfate is further treated by purification and crystallization to * Corresponding author.
