How to find and analisis gold ore

The geology of metallic minerals as gold, silver and copper are often found in areas that have the
ancient mountain. In addition to fertilize the soil, ancient mountain also produce a lot of metal
deposition of gold, silver, copper and other metallic minerals.

In the process of finding an area that has the potential gold content, location survey process is very
important. So that we can know the area contains a potential gold metal or not.

All gold mining either large or small mine to search for the existence of gold deposits in an area
through a survey activities, either the survey the rock type or rock formation, and characteristics
survey of the soil

A simple way to survey the early stages of searching for the location of the gold content, can find for
gold content eluvial or commonly referred to as loose and free gold, which is a kind of gold in the form
of granules. This method can be used in the survey to locate new gold deposits.

Genesis alluvial or placer gold deposits are formed by rainfall and sediment concentration of gold from
primary gold occurrence. For millions of years, extreme weather has turned the mountains and hills
that lead to the process of erosion and cracks in the rocks on the mountain or hill.

Then rock weathered and broken experiencing an erosion of natural processes, either from rainfall,
earthquakes, or other natural events that cause the material to move down to the bottom of the hill
and into the waters of the river area.

Ways Survey The Location Of Gold

From these events, the metal ore mineral material will be detached from the rock that later became
fine gold grains.

Ways and simple technique to look for areas that have a gold content or Ways survey the location of
the gold.
In find eluvial gold we need to do is find the location of mountain areas or hilly areas that have a strong
granite or crystalline deposits and ancient mountains or hills.

After finding the location that will be carried out the survey, The first step we can look for watersheds
or river bottom or base among the hills, as alluvial gold process occurs when water flows down from
the top of the hill or mountain will carry the eroded material and rapidly toward watershed, or basin.

After finding the watershed, trying to do a survey of rock from the downstream or lower part of the
river flow first. Do the panning to see any gold content or not. Gold panning process that most
prospects in the flow of the river bend, because at the bend of the river usually gold ore often stuck
there. we can try to pick or dig up soil sediment or sand from the river and then done panning with a
pan, as well as other tool.

If the downstream not find a speck of gold in the process of panning, the panning process is done
again in the stream that the top of the first panning area, and this step is done regularly and continues,
if found traces of rock avalanches from the hills in the river, the identification process can be done by
breaking some rock or panning avalanches. Survey and identification process to find the location that
contains gold as this is also done by surveyors in the world's largest gold mine

How Gold Panning For Identify Minerals Gold Alluvial

If in the river have find some golden point, one or two points of gold metal, then the location of the
discovery of gold ore could be given a sign. Then panning performed again in the upper part of the
river flow from the first discovery of the location of the gold point. Search through the upper flow of
the river, to which the gold metal was not rediscovered.

If the river flow that there is gold content just being the first location, or is found also on the upper
flow of the river, it can be inferred gold mineral deposits located in hillside location in the area of the
discovery of gold the last point. Later in the hills or mountains can be searched quartz or rock
avalanches that could be identified.

The Basics Sampling Science for Precious Metals

Analysis

The process of taking small samples for analysis to determine the precious metal content of a large
quantity of material is the most critical. Small errors and sapling can there fore lead to large differences
in the calculated value of each precious metal. Sampling science and techniques are used on primary
sources of precious metals from ore samples at mine sites.

Due to the high value of precious metals very low concentrations are contained enviable primary or
secondary sources. For example a platinum concentration as low as 2 to 3 grams per ton of ore or
scrap material is often profitable to recover and refine.

The process of taking samples from drilling to analysis

Secondary sources of precious metals which are manufacturing scrap or end-of-life materials for
recycling and refining must also be sampled properly for accurate results.
The fundamental processes include preparation, homogenization, equation handling and splitting
from bulk lots to prepare a small sample to represent the average composition of the large amount of
material.

Homogenizing is the process by which the material is blended uniformly to facilitate accurate
sampling. Splitting is the act of evenly dividing materials while avoiding any separation or segregation
for example a typical sample size of 300 grams may be selected to represent the average composition
of several tons of material once the 300 grand sample is sent to the analytical lab the sample will then
be further split to obtain smaller samples used for analysis.
The science and techniques used at mine sites for obtaining or samples utilize complex statistical
analysis. The same material from initial surface exploration is first panel sighs to determine locations
for drilling core samples to map out or deposits and determine mind valuations.

Chip samples are also taken within an active mind. Evaluation or deposits are used to determine where
to drill and to calculate the value of the ore which is required to secure financing for the mining
operation.

Materials that contain precious metals for recycling and refining are collected in bulk lots it is critical
to accurately determine what concentrations of each precious metal are contained in each lot for two
reasons.

First is to obtain the technical information needed to determine which processes to use for refining or
whether it is even worth the cost of refining.

The second is the financial consideration to place the correct value on each lot as the materials change
hands from suppliers to fires. Samples are often analyzed by both parties and transactions with a third
sample saved as a referee sample for possible analysis by an independent lab.
