Early Gold Finds and Production. Gold was produced in the southern Appalachian region as early as 1792 and perhaps as early as 1775 in southern California. The discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill in California sparked the gold rush of 1849-50, and hundreds of mining camps sprang to life as new deposits were discovered.

Gold Metallurgy. Gold metallurgy is a technology for extracting gold and its compounds from gold ore, gold concentrate, or other gold-bearing materials. Gold is one of the earliest metals discovered and used, and its element symbol comes from the Latin aurum, with the original meaning "the glorious dawn". As early as the Neolithic Age, gold ...

1. Introduction. The efficiency of gold extraction from sulphidic refractory ores (e.g., arsenopyrite (FeAsS) and pyrite (FeS 2)) by direct cyanidation is usually very low (Badri and Zamankhan, 2013, Faraz et al., 2014), since fine gold particles in these ores are mostly locked up in the bulk and therefore inaccessible to leaching agents and dissolved …
