This research focuses on the hydrometallurgical processing of auriferous ores and their processing products, namely, flotation and gravity concentrates. The main valuable component of an ore sample of any deposit is gold. The gold content should be in the range of 11.11–12.87 g/ton. The main rock-forming minerals of the original ore are …

Currently, the thiosulfate gold leaching operation at the Goldstrike mine, Nevada, of Barrick Gold Corp is the only large-scale gold extraction plant with an alternate lixiviant (Azizitorghabeh et al., 2021). Although research on sulfur-containing lixiviants has been the most common in gold hydrometallurgy in the past three decades, few ...

In 2007, the concentrations of gold in the reservoir liquids were between 1 and 6ppb; in 2014, the concentrations in the same wells were between 5 and 21ppb (Table1). RN-12 had the highest ...

Enrichment of an element above its average abundance in the Earth's crust is required to form any ore deposit. For gold, that enrichment is around 10,000 times which is more than virtually any other element, and the high enrichment implies special partitioning in Nature. Enrichment follows provinciality as the second of five …

The gold ore genetic mechanism has long been of great interest (e.g., Groves et al., 1998, ... This suggests that the CDR process in stages II-III (mainly Py2a and Py3a) may have controlled the subsequent gold enrichment. The Ag vs. Au correlation indicating that gold may exist mainly in the form of Au + or nanoparticles (Au 0) (Fig. 14). Thus ...

The supergene enrichment zone at Nenthorn involves the upper <10 m, immediately underneath the regional erosional unconformity. Supergene Au mobilisation, …

A typical supergene profile of a gold deposit consists of (1) a leached cap, (2) an oxidized zone, (3) a supergene enrichment zone, and (4) the primary ore zone . Free particles of high-purity Au (>99% Au) …

On the basis of the deposits examined here we would argue that the largest gold deposits worldwide have protracted gold enrichment histories that involve multiple …

The gold mineralization enrichment area is mainly distributed in the step parts where the fault plane changes from steeply to gently, forming a stepped metallogenic pattern from shallow to deep. ... The gold resources ratio, ore grade ratio, and orebody thickness ratio between deep and shallow orebodies are 0.55, 0.95 and 0.60, …

The origin of gold deposits has been the subject of considerable debate and remains controversial to this day. Most published ore deposit models in the literature to date involve gold being sourced from the mantle, the lower crust or the upper crust (Groves, 1993, Phillips and Powell, 2010, Thomas et al., 2011, Hronsky et al., 2012, Tomkins, …

The origins of high-grade hydrothermal ore deposits are debated, but active geothermal systems provide important clues to their formation. The highest concentrations of gold are found in geothermal systems with direct links to island arc magmatism. Yet, similar concentrations have also been found in the absence of any input from arc …

Ore genesis theories are dependent on the mineral or commodity. Ore genesis theories generally involve three components: source, transport or conduit, and trap. This also applies to the petroleum industry, which was …

The supergene enrichment of gold in deposits may take place by a simple mechanical process, by chemical means, or by a combination of these. First, the enrichment may be primarily the result of the chemical removal of a large part of the gangue minerals, in which case the gold migrates slowly downward by gravity or is left behind as a residual …

Although gold mineralization in massive sphalerite–galena–pyrite ore and pyrite–chalcopyrite ore has been widely studied, gold enrichment in massive barite-rich mineralization, another important mineralization type in seafloor volcanogenic massive sulfide deposits, has been less thoroughly investigated.
