Processing centres in artisanal gold mining

The aim of this paper is to reflect on efforts made worldwide to construct processing centres where artisanal miners can visit to have gold extracted from ore “free” or for a nominal fee. These centres use inefficient grinding and amalgamation processes to extract less than 30% of the gold to give back to the miners. As payment, miners typically leave the tailings (residues) at the

Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining Without Mercury |

2022-1-12 · Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining Without Mercury. In many countries, elemental mercury is used in artisanal and small-scale gold mining. Mercury is mixed with gold-containing materials, forming a mercury-gold amalgam which is then heated, vaporizing the mercury to obtain the gold. This process can be very dangerous and lead to significant ...
