Like cyanidation, borax flux is still popular today, among individual prospectors and small-scale mining operations. But, the most efficient method for gold extraction is froth flotation. Along with mechanized mining, froth flotation allowed the best recovery of gold from much lower grade ore than before – making it perhaps the most important ...

Removing the gold-bearing rock from the ground is just the first step. To isolate pure gold, mining companies use a complex extraction process. The first step in this process is breaking down large chunks of rock into smaller pieces. At a mill, large machines known as crushers reduce the ore to pieces no larger than road gravel.
