Understand how gold is lost in milling—and how to cut those losses.
This practical guide, in its second edition, explains the simple principles directors and millmen need to know to improve extraction and reduce waste. It blends experience with tested methods, helping readers evaluate processes without chasing unproven innovations.
This edition covers the scope of gold and silver ore concentration, the realities behind tailings, and the most effective steps for saving value. It discusses when amalgamation helps, when roasting is required, and how to approach concentration and double concentration to recover fine minerals. Clear examples illustrate how plant design, sampling, and handling influence results, with a practical eye toward cost and efficiency.- Learn how to measure losses in amalgamation and pinpoint where they occur.
- Compare different concentration approaches, including belt-type refiners and settling boxes.
- Understand when roasting, chlorination, or smelting are appropriate, and how to plan experiments safely.
- Discover actionable steps to optimize equipment, such as vanners, screens, and hydraulic classifiers.
