احصل على السعرNew Almaden mercury was used in sluice boxes during the California Gold Rush to amalgamate with gold. Between 1850 and 1875, miners extracted a total of 46 million pounds of liquid mercury from ore taken from the New Almaden Mines.
احصل على السعرMercury is dangerous substance that may cause cancer and other diseases. It pollutes human body, animals, plants, water source and environment. In our mining program Start Your Own Gold Mine we are not using mercury but recovering it when necessary and teaching miners how to implement mercury free methods.

احصل على السعرNevertheless, as this gold comes under the head of non amalgamable gold, its physical state and the causes of its disinclination to unite with mercury may conveniently be considered here. In general, pyrites yields only a small proportion of its gold contents if it is run over the amalgamated plates, and if it is ground very fine in a pan with mercury the percentage extraction is better .

احصل على السعرEach ton of ore that is hauled out of a good pit mine may contain about a tenth of an ounce of gold. With gold at, say, $900 an ounce, that makes a ton of ore worth $90, tops. Considering that the huge trucks used at some mines can hold up to 300 tons or more on each run, a truckload of ore coming out of the mine can be worth around $27,750.

احصل على السعرGold and/or silver ores typically contain other metals such as mercury and a variety of base metals. Of all the metals most likely present, mercury presents the most serious problem. Typically, 10 to 30 pct of the mercury and 75 to 95 pct of the gold and silver are solubilized during cyanidation.
