Our interactive gold mining map provides a breakdown of the top gold producing countries in the world, which demonstrates the geographical dispersion of gold mining operations and the gold supply.
Gold-bearing mineral ores are divided into two categories based on their mineralogy and processing methods: free-milling, which includes quartz vein gold ore, oxidized ore, and silver, and ...
Processing gold involves transforming rock and ore into a metallic alloy of substantial purity – known as doré – typically containing between 60-90% gold. During its life, a number of factors – such as the price of gold or input costs – will affect which areas of an ore body are deemed profitable (economic) to mine.

Harris; Evolution of Pyrite Trace Element Compositions from Porphyry-Style and Epithermal Conditions at the Lihir Gold Deposit: Implications for Ore Genesis and Mineral Processing.
The first step entails processing of the gold ore. The gold ore once mined is processed by separating the gold mineral from the crude matter holding it together. The ore is then pulverized using pressure to create very fine particles. The fine particles are then heated in a furnace to temperatures over 1,064 degrees Celsius, which is the ...
