Artisanal and small-scale gold mining in the Amazonian countries has undergone important technological improvements in recent decades. Nevertheless, this type of mining is largely associated with the use of rudimentary, low-tech and often manual methods, with inefficient gold recovery.

Studying these centuries-tested technologies of alluvial gold mining makes it easier to choose the most appropriate gold separation method depending on the deposit. Also, in many small-scale alluvial gold deposits, amalgamation is used, which is a technique that requires the use of mercury. In addition to the environmental concerns …

Alluvial gold is a kind of gold ore produced in the bottom or low-lying areas of rivers, mixed with stone sand that can be washed out. Artificial gold panning is a common gold mining method for alluvial gold, but with the development of mineral processing technology, the alluvial gold mining method has become diversified, the …

Gold was primarily collected from alluvial deposits in the ancient world using gravity techniques and mercury (amalgams) [7], which are still employed today in small-scale alluvial gold resources. Large-scale hard rock mining first employed cyanide in the 1880s to extract commodities, including gold, silver, copper, and other precious metals ...
