What is the difference between gold ore and iron ore. Why can we see small pieces of yellow metal in gold ore but no iron metal in iron ore?
gold is very resistant to corrosion so a significant fraction of gold ore is pure gold metal. iron corrodes very easily so iron ore is always mostly a mix of iron oxides (i.e. rusts).
How do you extract gold from ore?
Gold is formed independently from rocks so unlike iron or copper there is no 'ore' to extract it from. In general gold is acquired by finding nuggets in rocks. The gold is simply chipped off from the rock. It is extremly difficult if not impossible to extract the small traces of gold that can be found in many rocks and as far as i am aware no commercial technique for acccquiring such gold.
How was gold extracted?
In the old days it was extracted from mines with pick axes. Gold nuggets were dug from veins of crystal quartz that often included silver, mercury, and lead. Today most of that ore has been tapped, and new methods are employed. The gold is no longer even visible to the naked eye--it is dust, scattered throughout an ore body in a zone. Strip mined ore is piled on slanted V shaped sheets of plastic where it is sprayed with a solution of cyanide. The cyanide bonds with the gold which settles into a pond. The pond is drained, the rich ore scooped up and further processed to recover the gold. A profitable ore body may contain as little as 0.02 oz of gold per ton of ore. I have toured several gold mining operations in northern Nevada, and have staked claims for other mines there.
