Methods of Gold Mining - Geology In
2021-5-19 Hard rock gold 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 northeastern Nevada. Other gold mines use underground mining,

Hard Rock Mining vs. Placer Gold Mining
Today, nearly all small-scale prospectors focus their efforts on placer gold that can be recovered from mining methods like panning, sluicing, and dredging. This has a lot to do with the ease of recovery and the cost associated with it. Hard rock mining is expensive.

Crushing Ore for Gold Veins - Hardrock Lode Mining - Rock ...
For most small-scale gold prospectors, crushing ore to determine the amount of free gold is the best method to determine gold content within an ore sample. Free gold can then be collected using traditional gravity based methods, which do not require the same level of permitting as the chemical methods used by commercial gold mines.

Methods of mining – Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand
2021-5-14 Hard-rock mines followed quartz veins, which contained gold. Underground mining was very expensive as tunnels had to be blasted and the roofs supported. Mines such as those at Waihī on Coromandel Peninsula and Waiuta on the West Coast followed reefs until they became too deep or low grade to be mined economically.
