Gold ore in Red lake mines

The Red Lake Mining is one of the largest gold mines in Canada and largest gold mines in the world. Located in the Red Lake Mining Division within the District of Kenora, northwestern Ontario this mine cover approximately 2335 hectares, the mine is comprised of the Red Lake Complex and the Campbell Complex one of the world’s most prolific gold districts and the mine has estimated reserves of 3.23 million oz of gold

Red Lake Mining is owned and operated by Goldcorp Inc, operations are situated in the eastern part of the Red Lake Greenstone Belt in the Birch-Uchi Lake Subprovince of the Superior Province, within the core of the Canadian Shield and In 2014 Red Lake mine yielding 414,400 ounces. Gold rush in Red lake was first began in  1926, resulted in the discovery and development of several reasonably successful, former producing mining operations (i.e. >10 years production, >200,000 oz produced)

Mercury In Gold Mining

by
    Mercury is denoted by Hg, an acronym of Hydragyrum which means liquid silver. Mercury is a metallic element which is in group II B in the periodic system, with atomic number 80 and mass number 200.59. The metal mercury is produced naturally and is obtained from ore processing, Cinabar, with oxygen (Palar; 1994). The metal mercury is produced, used in the synthesis of inorganic compounds and organic compounds that contain mercury. In everyday life, mercury is in three basic forms, namely: metallic mercury, inorganic mercury and organic mercury. Mercury (Hg) is one type of metal found in nature and are scattered in the rock, ore mines, land, water and air as inorganic and organic compounds. Mercury is one of the basic elements of chemical and heavy metal is a liquid which under normal circumstances silvery, not smelling with a molecular weight of 200.59. Mercury is not soluble in water, alcohol, ether, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen.History of Mercury has been found in Egypt in ancient tomb relics century 1500 BC, and may be used for cosmetic and medicinal purposes. Around 350 BC, Greek philosopher and scientist Aristotle explains how to take the mercury by heating cinnabar rocks for religious ceremonies. In Rome, mercury is used for various purposes and give it a name hydrargyrum, which means liquid silver into the origin of the chemical symbol for mercury is Hg. Mercury Amalgamation was first to cultivate the patio process of silver by the year 1557 in Mexico who made ​​the request of mercury is greatly increased. Mercury barometer was invented by Torricelli in 1643, followed by the discovery of the use of mercury in the thermometer by Fahrenheit in 1714.

Fools Gold In Rock Minerals

With the chemical formula FeS2 pyrite, is one of the types of sulphide minerals which are common in nature, either as a byproduct of a hydrothermal deposits or as accessory minerals in some rock types. Descriptively, pyrite has a golden yellow color with a metallic sheen. So, if you are not familiar with metallic minerals, and pyrite is often regarded as the gold. In the crystal structure, both pyrite and gold together cabbage, but the nature of it that are different. Gold is more malleable than pyrite. If beaten, pyrite will shatter, whereas gold is not easily destroyed because they are more malleable. The mineral pyrite, or iron pyrite, is iron  sulfide with the formula FeS2. Glittering metallic  mineral is pale-to-normal, brass yellowish  hue, and often also earned the nickname as a stupid  gold due to its resemblance  to gold. PHYRITE  name comes from the Greek (puritēs), "fire" or "in fire",  from (pur), "fire". In ancient Roman times, this name was applied to  several types of stone that will create a spark when struck against steel. Pyrite  is usually found associated  with other sulfides or oxides in quartz veins, sedimentary rock, and metamorphic rocks, and  also in coal beds, and as a replacement  mineral in fossils. Although  dubbed the dumb gold, pyrite  is sometimes also contain a small amount of gold in it. Gold and arsenic  occurs as a coupled substitution in the pyrite structure. In the Carlin gold deposit, Nevada, arsenian pyrite contains up to 0.37 wt% gold.

The Process Ore Formation Of Mineral

by
      Ore mineralization is the process of formation of minerals in ore deposits role in a rock. In the formation of these minerals are also associated with other minerals minerals. Formation of these minerals show credentials such as shape, appearance parts, twinning and others. Some minerals form a well-developed crystals (euhedral) pyrite, hematite, wolframite, arsenopyrite, cobalt, magnetite. Standard forms crystals in mineralogy: Cubic, octahedral, tabular, accicular, columnar, bladed, fibrous, colloform, micaceous, prismatic
      The crust consists of rocks-igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Understanding is the deposits of mineral ore that can be extracted (taken) economically valuable minerals, and ore in a deposit is dependent on two main factors, namely the level of concentrated (precious metal content in the sediment), the location and size (dimensions) precipitate. To achieve the levels of economic, minerals ore or valuable mineral components are naturally concentrated in the crust until a certain minimum level depends on the type of ore or mineral.

Difference Of Gold Ore And Pyrite

by
People often think phyrite as a golden appearance, which resembles gold glitter. Occasionally someone asks, if pyrite is gold? Or is this auriferous pyrite??? Indeed, often times the physical appearance of the mineral pyrite is almost like a mineral ore of gold, maybe some people who never see it will think that the mineral pyrite is gold metal. Physical appearance is almost similar to the gold ore PHYRITE, markasit, and chalcopyrite seen from the color, but can be distinguished from its soft, high density, and golden appearance. Gold associated with quartz, phyrite, arsenopyrite, and Silver. The physical properties of gold is very stable, not corrosive or weathered and rarely had a compound with other chemical elements. Electrical and thermal conductivity is very good, malleable so it can be formed and also be ductile. Gold is the most high-density metals.
