Today, Outotec can offer processes and equipment that cover the full gold value stream from ore to dore. This includes all three main oxidative processes for the treatment of refractory gold concentrates – BIOX, pressure oxidation, and roasting – as well as the equipment for ultra-fine grinding as a fourth, non-oxidative treatment option.

Sulphide Gold Ore Treatment by Leaching and Flotation Process

Problem with gold recovery from sulphide ore: How may a mill get the maximum recovery of gold from a sulphide ore, at the least capital cost and at the same time obtain the highest net return.This latter point is most important. In many cases a gold mill using an all-cyanide flowsheet with fine grinding of all the ore will report very low gold content in the tailings …

Gold processing 101

How Gold is Mined: The Process from Earth to Bullion

In its simplest terms, gold mining refers to the process of obtaining gold from the ground. More specifically, gold mining can be defined as the resource extraction of gold through various operational methods that aid in the mineral's recovery and refinement from ores and other mineral deposits. The meaning of gold mining encompasses various ...

In addition to the cyanide circuit, gold leach residue is treated in a flotation stage ...

Gold processing

Gold processing - Mining, Concentrating, Refining: The nature of the ore deposit determines the mining and mineral processing techniques applied. Oxide ore deposits are frequently of such low grade (e.g., 3 to 10 parts per million) that extensive mineral processing cannot economically be justified. In this case they are merely shattered by explosives and then …
