Mining gold from year to year is always an increase, in which

the processingsystem became more developed,

ranging from mining system that uses a simple system to a
more modern processing system. Gold mining was first carried out in
alluvial areas. Processing system is also very simple to do that is by
panning using a tray, which then developed with gold mining wave
table, and followed by gravity separation method using the
amalgamation process with the capture of mercury. Gold exploration
in the lower layers of soil to get the primary sediment deposits began
in 1860 with gold using a cyanide treatment system. And in 1960 the
method of processing low-grade gold began being applied, which
carried out the processing system through leaching heap, this process
is basically developed from gold processing system using
cyanidation . Of all the gold mineral processing must go through
several stages in all these stages it is absolutely live to get the
desired results, as for some stages it can be underlined by the

Explanation Of The Gold Processing In A

Simple Diagram Above :
Open Pit Mining is an excavation carried out on the surface of land
that is intended to take the materials in the ore minerals in the soil
surface. The main objective of the mining activities are taking
deposits of parent rock, making it easy to be transported and
processed within the next process further. Mining activities are
divided into three activities, namely the dismantling, loading and
transportation.
The ore is a mineral or mineral mixture which can be extracted. The
ore is usually in the form of oxides, carbonates and sulfides. They are
all limited
resources to extract metals, ores or metal
compound must undergo
a
process
of reduction (eg, positive metal ions accept electrons to
formnegative to neutral metal atoms, or oxide loses oxygen, to form
the metal atoms are free).
Comminution is a
process
of size
reduction of mineral ores
containing aprecious metal, with
the
aim to liberate the
mineral content
of mineral orefrom other minerals contained
in
the host rock. And this process is dividedinto stages:

Refractory ore processing

Crushing

Milling
Destruction of rocks made to get smaller sized rocks. Size obtained is
usually 20mm. machine
used is
a
machine or Stone Crusher Hammer Mill orCrusher Jaws.
The
Processing
Of
Gold
Once the size of the ore is reduced, the process is then performed by
separating the mineral concentration process gold from mineral
impurities, consisting of several kinds of processing techniques:

PROCESS GRAVITY CONCENTRATION

AMALGAMATION PROCESS

FLOTATION PROCESS


LEACHING PROCESS
Gold
Concentrate
From the stage of the process will then be obtained concentrate
processing ores containing various metals. And the concentrate will
be processed in order to obtain the value of gold in high purity
chemical process. And a few stages of the treatment process through
a process

SMELTING

PARTING

AQUA REGIA
Bars Gold : The results of the concentrate that has been
processed, then used a metal rod that is ready to be marketed in
accordance with the priceof gold on the market.
