The first case study deals with recovering gold reef from surface rock dumps (SRD) at Kloof Gold Mine. Over a period from 2003 to 2010 various test work campaigns and pilot plant work was carried out proving both the technical and economic viability of optical sorting. Typically the grade of a SRD ranges between 0.5 g/t to 1.0 g/t of gold.

However, extracting gold from quartz vein gold ore is a meticulous process that requires careful planning and execution. 1. Cyanide gold extraction includes crushing, leaching, filtering, adsorption, elution, etc. The first step in the method is crushing the quartz into small pieces. This can be done using a jaw crusher or a mortar and pestle.
The mining industry currently faces challenges including, but not limited to: gold price volatility, declining ore grade, complex ores, escalating production costs and increasing pressure to be environmentally responsible. As green mining becomes a strong focus of the 21st Century mining industry, an opportunity exists to explore non-cyanide green …

The Wits Basin, as it is more commonly known, is the single largest gold-producing district in the world, measuring 300km in length and 160km in width. The Wits Basin was formed between 2.7 billion and 3.1 billion years ago and attains a depth of 6,000m. The origins of the gold within the reefs is best described by the modified placer theory ...

The carbon-rich Vaal Reef, the world's biggest gold orebody, produced about 3,000 t of gold from a single reef mined over ∼ 60 km 2 (estimated from ref. 2).
The primary objective of the study was to determine the controls of mineralization in the White Reef, which occurs at the base of the Reef Stage of the Upper Witwatersrand System on the West Rand. It is a quartzite with scattered pebbles and occasional 'banket' conglomerates. The average gold content at 317 gm-cm per tonne is low, but uranium …

1 Wash, filter, and grind the granite ore into smaller pieces. 2 Put the ground ore into a tank containing a dilute cyanide solution and add zinc. The chemical reaction between a dilute cyanide solution and zinc will separate the gold from the ore. 3 Use a filter press to remove the gold from the solution.

from the Witwatersrand Supergroup, at a time when most of the primary reef horizons are being depleted and information on secondary reef intersections is generally limited. Several studies of the Middelvlei Reef have indicated a notable relationship between its sedimentological and depositional characteristics and the distribution of gold. The
This study aims to determine the basic acoustic properties and to better understand the nature of the seismic reflectivity of the world's deepest gold-bearing reef, the Carbon Leader Reef (CLR). This was done by measuring the physical properties (ultrasonic velocities and bulk densities) as well as conducting mineralogical analyses on drill ...

As with all other gold-bearing conglomerates found in the Witwatersrand Basin, pyrite, the most abundant ore mineral in the Black Reef ore deposit, can be classified into three main classes (da Costa et al., 2020): (1) detrital (or allogenic) pyrite; (2) diagenetic (or authigenic) pyrite that formed in situ after deposition; and (3 ...
The Ventersdorp Contact Reef(VCR) is a major gold-bearing reef in the Witwatersrand Basin.
