Gold Extraction

---

 Gold mining efficiency depends on several factors: type, extraction method, and technology used. Here's a snapshot of how efficient modern gold mining can be:

  · Gold Recovery Rate: Most modern operations achieve 85–95% recovery of gold from ore, especially when using cyanide leaching or gravity separation.

· Cost per Ounce:Efficient mines aim to keep production costs below $1,200 per ounce, with top-tier operations achieving costs closer to $900/oz.

· Energy Use: On average, it takes about 150 kWh of energyto produce one ounce of gold, making energy optimization a key factor in operational efficiency.

· Ore Grade Impact: Higher-grade ores (more gold per ton of rock) significantly improve efficiency. Low-grade ores require more processing, which increases cost and energy use.

· Technology Integration: Automation, AI, and eco-friendly systems are improving extraction rates and reducing waste, especially in heap leaching and cyanide recovery systems.

1. Mining is the Extraction of ore from the earth. 

2. Grinding/Milling? Crushing ore into fine particles. 

3. Flotation? Separation of valuable minerals from waste. 

4. Cyanide Leaching? Dissolving gold using cyanide. 

5. Carbon-in-Column? Gold is absorbed onto activated carbon. 

6. Reagent Circuit? Chemicals are managed and recycled. 

7. Tailings Management? Handling of leftover materials. 

8. Heap Leach? Low-grade ore is leached in heaps. 

9. CIL Gold Recovery? Carbon-in-leach process for gold extraction
