There is way to use lead, copper & sulfuric acid to recover gold plating. Mercury is actually reusable if handled properly, but regulations often result in harsher acid chemicals (like aqua rega) that are not re-usable. Also Nothing stops locals from doing these steps for themselves so by leaving the gold in the ground you only tempt the locals to make a quick buck.ģ Once we have the big gold, its still not pure gold & further processing is Not done at the mine site. It would not surprise me if activist blame 100 year old mess on modern company just to stop it.
Maybe these steps were done during the original gold rush & there is still a mess from that. However the miners plan on putting the tailings back in the mine after mixing it with concret instead of mixing it with mercury. They do the same with computer gold or just use a shaker table.Ģ Once large gold is removed there are still small flakes in the tailings, which is where in the past & many foreign countries, Mercury was used & that mixture is called Slurry. Just search for small scale mining or watch gold rush, to get better understanding of the different processes.ġ Large gold is got by breaking rock & catching the heavy gold in something similar to a filter. These activist are mixing up facts as usual. hard worked killed the first and starbucks will kill the second. Now going back I always love those who say mining destroyed this or that but yet those same people get in their car and drive to starbucks for a coffee all the while living in the same towns and the same streets miners walked and worked. they killed the timber industry around GV then the bay area moved in, All the old timers that made a living from mining and logging are now long gone, all you have left is the consumers of such thing and they dont want anything that looks like work. the Mother lode is very hard rock and its in the same shape as when the pulled out, I worked in the mines 40 years both south of GV in 79 ( Blaziing star at West point) and in Sierra County in 83 ( 16 to 1) they would have loved to have re opened a mine there in those days. so That person doesn’t know anything about hard rock mining. California has a lot of mines that closed the same way.
Pretty well written in all reality more so that the last comments about the collapsed tunnels and the grade of gold hoist situation and not making sense.
