Review articleA systematic review of sustainable gold extraction
2022.3.1 Some refractory gold ores present unique challenges during metallurgical processing, such as cases in which gold occurs with other minerals. Roasting, pressure oxidation, bio-oxidation and ultrafine grinding are popular gold pre-treatment methods.

Gold cyanidation - Wikipedia
In 1783, Carl Wilhelm Scheele discovered that gold dissolved in aqueous solutions of cyanide. Through the work of Bagration (1844), Elsner (1846), and Faraday (1847), it was determined that each atom of gold required two cyanide ions, i.e. the stoichiometry of the soluble compound. The expansion of gold mining in the Rand of South Africa began to slow down i

Gold mining - Wikipedia
Hard rock mining extracts gold encased in rock, rather than fragments in loose sediment, and produces most of the world's gold. Sometimes open-pit mining is used, such as at the Fort Knox Mine in central Alaska. Barrick Gold Corporation has one of the largest open-pit gold mines in North America located on its Goldstrike mine property in north eastern Nevada. Other gold mines use under
