In our time, gold is mined primarily from ores. And not only gold, but also those in which other non-ferrous metals predominate, namely: copper, lead, silver.
In natural non-ferrous metals, the content of gold,as a rule, much less than in gold minerals, but at the same time slightly less and the cost of its extraction. It should be noted that in this case, the extraction of precious metals will largely depend on the demand for other non-ferrous metals.
Sources of gold receipts
To the question: "How to produce gold?"There are several variants of answers: the main source of income are the indigenous deposits, and gold can be extracted from secondary material." Of course, this source is not significant in scale, but in the future, with the development of the sphere of use of precious metals in industry, its value will increase .
To know how to extract gold from secondarysources, you need to understand what "secondary gold" is. This is the name of the metal obtained as a result of processing of products that failed, in which there is precious metal in any, even minor quantities.
Indigenous gold deposits are, as a rule, quartz veins of varying thickness and thickness.
How to break into the "golden" business
There is another available option, how to extractgold: a long-term loan for the development of new deposits. Such a loan can be obtained for a longer period, if compared with advancing the seasonal extraction of precious metal. Investments in the development of placer deposits, according to prospectors, can pay off in one to two years, in the development of ore deposits - for ten years.
The third option is the acquisition of shares of a gold mining company. For example, the former state mining and processing enterprises.
Gold deposits in Russia
Domestic gold mining is predominantlyis aimed at the development of placer deposits, since such facilities have less long terms of construction of mines. But recently, the mining and geological conditions for placer processing have deteriorated significantly, and the average gold content has also decreased. As a result, there is a steady trend of increasing importance of ore deposits in the total gold production in Russia.
Especially this process is indicative for the Magadan region, which is a large gold mining region of the country and provides production of about a third of the domestic precious metal.
