The gold ores in the Sorata region from La Suerte and San Mateo are amenable to gold extraction using borax smelting. The gold ores from the two mines are very similar. Two competitions between traditional mercury gold extraction and mercury-free gold extraction methods were held and the mercury-free method gave the highest yield in both cases.

Although this method of gold extraction calls for household chemicals, that doesnt mean they are safe. Please be advised that you must handle these chemicals with care. Goggles, gloves, glass apparatus and a very well ventilated room with a fume hood and a gas maskrespirator are needed as well or an outside area is highly recommended.

I do not recommend the mercury method it works but it is extremely toxic for generations. The Borax Method is a technique of artisanal gold mining, with its basis in the principle that borax reduces the melting point of all minerals, including precious metals like gold.

At this time, mercury rapidly diffuses along the surface of the gold particles and reduces the surface energy at the phase interface. Subsequently, mercury diffuses into the gold particles, forming a mercury compound-amalgam amalgam. The amalgamation gold extraction method is divided into internal amalgamation and external amalgamation.

Apr 06, 2016018332After heat-treating the resulting slurry, miners could separate the mercury and gold for processing. Gold cyanidation dates back to 1783 when Carl Wilhelm Scheele discovered that gold could be dissolved in an aqueous cyanide solution. In 1887, this knowledge was applied to gold mining with the development of the MacArthur-Forrest Process.
