Mining Techniques of the Sierra Nevada and Gold Country
Hydraulic mining was a variation on ground sluicing where the water delivered to the site would be shot through a nozzle at high pressure onto the face of the cliff thereby washing away tons of boulders gravel dirt and gold. The first use of this method is credited to Edward Mattison in 1853.

GOLD MINING METHODSidc-online
Modern commercial hardrock mines are massive operations in some cases displacing and processing over 200 000 tons of gold-bearing ore per day. In addition to the direct ecological disruption of mining on this scale much of the gold mined this way is found in sulfur-bearing rocks. These rocks when disrupted by mining can produce

Processing smelting and refining gold World Gold Council
The two gold refining methods most commonly employed to derive pure gold are the Miller process and the Wohlwill process. The Miller process uses gaseous chlorine to extract impurities when gold is at melting point impurities separate into a layer on the surface of the molten purified gold. The Miller process is rapid and simple but it

Epithermal Gold Deposits Geology for Investors
Mining Techniques. Historically epithermal gold has been mined by underground techniques as miners followed the narrow twisting veins from the surface outcrops far underground. Modern mining techniques mean that today most epithermal deposits are mined using open-cut pit techniques.

Mining What Is Gold Mining How Is Gold Mined
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.

Hard rock gold mining extracts gold encased in rock rather than fragments in loose sediment and produces most of the world s gold. Sometimes open-pit mining is used such as at the Fort Knox Mine in central Alaska. Barrick Gold Corporation has one of the largest open-pit gold mines in North America located on its Goldstrike mine property in northeastern Nevada. Other gold mines use underground mining
