Synopsis
Excerpt from Losses in Gold Amalgamation: With Notes on the Concentration of Gold and Silver Ores
The purpose of the following notes is not to give a detailed description of milling processes and machinery, but to offer a little useful knowledge to directors of English gold mining companies on some of the simple principles that are too often ignorantly, or designedly, ignored, or surrounded with mystery by inexperienced mine managers; also to give to millmen a few suggestions, founded on a tolerably wide experience, in the commercial handling of many kinds of ores. Some directors of mining companies are naturally inclined to listen to the specious promises of inventors of novel processes and new machinery, forgetting their own personal disadvantage in any argument on such matters, and assuming a confidence in the logic of their own conclusions, while they ignore the fruitful experience of thousands of practical men who are engaged in the mining business. The repeated failures of directors in sending out new machinery to their mines, ought by this time to be a sufficient warning against increasing risks that are at once natural and unavoidable, and to deterthem from plunging their shareholders into experi ments which, in ninety-nine cases out of a__ hundred, result in nothing but excessive and needless expense.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book guides directors and millmen alike on gold processing insights developed before 1890, focusing on the practical, commercial handling of various ores. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding the condition in which gold is lost within a particular oreâ"free, locked in particles, or mixed with sulphuretsâ"and provides simple tests for determining this. The author encourages a focus on maximizing the percentage of gold saved, rather than on overall yield, and notes the crucial role of concentration techniquesâ"particularly the Frue vannerâ"in minimizing losses. A useful distinction is drawn between ores amenable to copper-plate amalgamation and those better suited to chlorination or smelting. While acknowledging the potential of new inventions, the author cautions against hasty adoption and advocates a conservative approach, emphasizing the value of proven processes and experienced personnel. The book's insights on minimizing gold losses and selecting appropriate treatment methods remain relevant today, offering valuable guidance for those involved in the mining and processing of gold ores. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
