Gold Ore Processing

Gold ore processing involves extracting gold from naturally occurring rock or minerals. First, the ore is crushed and ground to liberate gold particles. Then, various methods—such as gravity separation, flotation, or cyanidation—are used to separate gold from other materials. In cyanidation, a cyanide solution dissolves the gold, which is then recovered through processes like carbon adsorption or electrolysis. The final step involves refining the gold to remove impurities, resulting in pure gold suitable for use in jewelry, industry, or investment. Each step is designed to maximize recovery while minimizing environmental impact.
