However, extracting gold from quartz vein gold ore is a meticulous process that requires careful planning and execution. 1. Cyanide gold extraction includes crushing, leaching, filtering, adsorption, elution, etc. The first step in the method is crushing the quartz into small pieces. This can be done using a jaw crusher or a mortar and pestle.

Ore sorting has been done by hand for centuries by identifying mineralization on the surface of individual stones (Newton, 1959, Wills, 1992). However, modern technology affords the opportunity to look deeper than the surface, and in spectral ranges invisible to the naked eye. As outlined in Fig. 2, stones pass through a sensor …

CIL (Carbon In Leach), the gold carbon leaching method, is the carbon leaching method for gold extraction. Normally, the CIL process can concentrate gold from 2.5–3.5 g/t in ore to 2000 to 6000 g/t in carbon. The CIL gold process is suitable for beneficiating oxidized gold ore with low sulfur and mud content; Or process the gold tailings ...

In the context of its processing, gold deposits are typically classified, for the purposes of simplification, as: 1) free milling, and 2) refractory ores (including complex and carbonaceous). Based on their mineralogical characteristics and their mineral processing techniques required to liberate them, however, gold ores can be classified further.
