What is "Fool's Gold?" | U.S. Geological Survey
Fool's Gold can be one of three minerals. The most common mineral mistaken for gold is pyrite. Chalcopyrite may also appear gold-like, and weathered mica can mimic gold as well. Compared to actual gold, these minerals will flake, powder, or crumble when poked with a metal point, whereas gold will gouge or indent like soft lead. In addition, actual gold will …

8 Types of Gold Ore
1 Wash, filter, and grind the granite ore into smaller pieces. 2 Put the ground ore into a tank containing a dilute cyanide solution and add zinc. The chemical reaction between a dilute cyanide solution and zinc will separate the gold from the ore. 3 Use a filter press to remove the gold from the solution.
Placer Gold Deposits | SpringerLink
Lower Carboniferous gold-bearing conglomerate: These deposits are present in the river systems of the Zaamar ore district. Conglomerate cement is composed of chlorite-sericite, calcite, and sericite-silica and is often metamorphosed and weathered. There are three gold occurrences identified with gold content of 0.2 g/t.

Photos of gold ores, quartz, telluride gold ore and gold specimens
The fourth class of gold ores comprises the gold-telluride group. The gold telluride ores occur with silver, or with silver, lead and antimony, or as native gold accompanied by other tellurides. These ores are often sent direct to the smelters for treatment. A fifth type is the disseminated ore type.

CBG Bauxite (Aluminium Ore) Mining Operations
Bauxite processing. Treatment of the run-of-mine bauxite consists mainly of crushing and drying before shipment. Ore wagons are tipped individually, the material being crushed to –100mm before stockpiling. After reclaim using bucket-wheel stacker-reclaimers, the ore is dried from an average of 12.5% moisture to 6.7% for shipping.

The processes of parting may be tabulated as follows: Cementation. Melting with sulphide of antimony. Melting with sulphur, and precipitation of the gold from the regulus by silver, iron, or litharge. Parting by nitric acid. Parting by sulphuric acid, sometimes called "refining.". A combination of these last two methods.
Conglomerate Processing | Equipment, Process Flow, Cases
The conglomerate is a sedimentary rock made of rounded pebbles and sand that is usually held together (cemented) by silica, calcite or iron oxide. It is a stone similar to sandstone but the rock particles are rounded or angular gravel rather than sand. The conglomerate is a coarse-grained rock that is often formed in riverbeds.
Copper Ore Processing Methods
The four major steps in the production of marketable copper are mining, concentrating, smelting, and refining. In a few instances, however, leaching takes the place of concentrating, smelting, and refining. At present, although considerable leaching and direct-smelting ores are produced, the bulk of the copper ore mined is concentrated.
