Gold Content in the gold production-generated silt-and-clayey formations in the far east area of Russia

The article characterizes morphology and grain sizes of gold contained in silt-clayey tailing dumps formed in the course of mining of natural placers in the Far East territory of Russia. The authors assess gold distribution in micron size fractions, from 100 μm to 2 μm, and illustrate efficiency of...

Description
Summary:The article characterizes morphology and grain sizes of gold contained in silt-clayey tailing dumps formed in the course of mining of natural placers in the Far East territory of Russia. The authors assess gold distribution in micron size fractions, from 100 μm to 2 μm, and illustrate efficiency of application of a reagent technology to fine and very fine gold recovery.
