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 ores become 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).
I. The reason of the gold mineral refractory There are so many types of reasons that caused the difficulty of gold ore processing, including physical element, chemical element, and mineralogical
The processing of refractory gold ores begins with crushing and grinding, followed by flotation at the mine site which reduces the volume of material down to between and of the original
148 PRECIOUS METALS PROCESSING Recovering refractory resources Refractory gold ore needs pretreatment for cyanidation to be effective in gold recovery. Ailbhe Goodbody looks at the advantages and disadvantages of the most common pretreatment options, and speaks to some companies that offer or use the processes A refractory gold ore is gold
Gold bulls were disappointed that the price did not break through the 2,000/oz ceiling; nevertheless the current stable price run has helped to maintain a strong interest in gold projects. Gold processing has a couple of unique features.
Many goldbearing ores and concentrates are not readily amenable to cyanidation, owing to the presence of substances that consume the cyanide reagent before it can dissolve the gold, preferentially adsorb the gold as it dissolves (a phenomenon called pregrobbing), or completely surround the gold particles in such a way as to prevent access by the cyanide leach solution. Such ores are referred to as refractory
refractory ore, do not include neutralization, and they assume that the treatment section is associated with an operating facility. Mining, milling, flotation, cyanide leaching, gold recovery, tailings disposal, environmental, reclamation, and general and administrative costs need to be added in order to get a complete cost estimate.

Gold mining and processing operations are important sources of arsenic release to the environment. This chapter focuses on the magnitude of the arsenic problem in gold processing and the methods used to mitigate the risk to the environment. The latest technologies for arsenic stabilization are
Metallurgical processing of metalliferous ores in general and gold ores in particular, consists essentially of three stages, often colloquially referred to as: Bashing (crushing); Mashing (grinding); and; Hashing (extraction/recovery
The best choice of a processing route to treat a refractory ore will in most cases be site specific, due mainly to the metallurgical and mineralogical characteristics of the ore. The successful application of
Refractory and Nonrefractory are relative terms, and the degree to which any ore is amenable to cyanide extraction will range from near 0% through to near . Whether gold is refractory or nonrefractory has a huge bearing on a potential mine''s viability.
The successful application of these processing techniques can result in mining operations that would otherwise have been impossible. However for an increasing number of low grade refractory ores, the estimated capital and operating costs mean that very careful project evaluation will be necessary, particularly at current gold prices.
WHATS HAPPENING IN GOLD ORE PROCESSING? April 2019 . Factors driving new developments in gold technology include increasing environmental concern and government regulation over the use of cyanide, the trend towards refractory, complex, and lower grade resources, and the pressure to reduce operating cost and increase plant performance efficiency.
