1. Main minerals
Gold is a yellow metal with a strong metallic luster. Nearly 20 types of gold minerals have been discovered. Divided into ① natural elements, natural alloys and intermetallic compounds; ② sulfide; ③ selenide; ④ telluride; ⑤ antimonide and so on. The most common are the natural elements of gold and tellurides. The main ones are natural gold, which contains more than 80% gold, and gold and silver mines contain 50% gold. In nature, gold often coexists with silver, and is closely related to minerals such as pyrite, galena, arsenopyrite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, tetrahedrite, molybdenite, etc., and often grows with them. together.
2. Industrial requirements

  • Cut-off grade: 1-2g/t

  • Lowest industrial grade: 3-5g/t

  • Average grade of ore deposit: 5-8g/t

  • Available thickness: ≥0.8-1.5m

  • Stone removal thickness: ≥2-4m

  • Elimination length of non-ore section:

  • When the upper and lower tunnels correspond to 10-15m

  • When the upper and lower tunnels do not correspond to 20-30m

Note: ① For grade index, when the construction conditions for easy mining and selection of ore are good, the lower limit is adopted; otherwise, the upper limit is adopted.
②The lower limit of the minimum recoverable thickness and the thickness of the inclusions removed when the deposit is steep; otherwise, the upper limit is adopted.
