The Mining Process – OceanaGold
The Mining Process. Gold at Macraes is known as 'refractory ore', which means it is ultra-fine and resistant to the typical cyanide leach process. The mining process at Macraes is circular and follows a cycle of exploration, mining, processing and rehabilitation and closure. With a 30-year history of development spanning fluctuating gold ...

Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining Without Mercury
Although many miners use mercury in artisanal and small-scale gold mining, it is possible to safely and economically recover gold without it. Mercury-free techniques are safer for miners, their families and local communities. They may also help miners market their gold at higher prices. Many artisanal and small-scale miners are …
