Leaching, often gold, is the process of extracting a soluble constituent from a solid by means of a solvent. In extractive metallurgy, of gold, it is the process of dissolving a certain mineral (or minerals) from an ore or a concentrate, or dissolving certain constituents from materials such as a calcines, mattes, scrap alloys, anodic slimes, ...
Artisanal gold mining is carried out in more than 70 developing countries. In most cases, operations use elemental mercury to produce from 450 to 600 tonnes of gold annually (Esdaile et al., 2018, Heymann, 2020, Martinez et al., 2021), with losses of mercury to the environment exceeding 2000 t/a (UNEP, 2019).Mercury is either mixed with the …

Open-pit mining, also known as open-cast or open-cut mining, is a surface mining technique that involves the removal of large quantities of soil and rock to access the gold deposits beneath. This method is typically used when the gold deposit is close to the surface and extends over a wide area. Heavy machinery, such as excavators and haul ...
