After crushing, the ore was chemically treated to tease the gold out; mercury was most commonly used for this purpose. One of the most enduring problems of the gold rush mines is the contamination of the soil and water by the mercury, as well as by the acids and arsenic released during the milling process.

A typical gold mine operation consumes 25-150kWh of electricity per tonne of processed ore (Calvo, Mudd, Valero and Valero, 2016). This means that if mill feed tonnes can be cut via bulk ore sorting ahead of the processing phases, a mine can significantly decrease energy, water and reagent consumption - as well as tailings.

Conventional mines have a mill where the ore is crushed and ground to liberate the mineral particles, then leached in tanks with sulfuric acid to dissolve the uranium oxides. The solution is then processed to recover the uranium. With some South African uranium recovery from gold tailings, a pressure leach is necessary.

Iron ore is mined and processed in the remote open-pit mine sites. After crushing and screening of the ore on site, the ore is carefully graded. There is sophisticated automatic sampling prior to shipping the ore via train to the port at Dampier over 1000km away, on the world's longest private railway.

Once the ore is on the surface, the process of getting the mineral you want out of the rock can start. Once the mineral is separated from the rest of the rock, the mineral needs to be cleaned so that it can be used. This process can be represented by the following flowchart diagram: In this chapter we will look at each of the steps in more detail.

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.

The Mining Process. 1. Mining - Open Pit and Underground — To define the ore from the waste rock, samples are taken and assayed. Assay results are used to mark out areas of ore and waste rock, which are mined separately. Some of the harder areas require blasting to loosen the rock prior to excavation by hydraulic diggers.

For iron, once the ore is obtained through open cast or underground mining, it's conveyed up to the surface for crushing, washing, and then taken to the smelter. At the smelter, the crushed ore is put into a blast furnace along with limestone and coke, and subjected to hot air blasting and heat, and it turns to molten iron.

Iron ore is a rock from which the metal iron is extracted. About 98% of the world's iron is used to produce steel. Pure iron is an element and a soft grayish-white metal. Other than meteorites that fall from the sky, iron is never found by itself in nature. Most iron is part of minerals that contain other elements.
