Gold and associated minerals in the Waikaia placer gold mine…
The richest gold contents (typically 500–4000 mg/m 3) are found in the bottom 3–4 m of the paleochannel (Figure 3 A) and this interval has been the principal target of the mine. Gold particles are typically c. 0.5 mm across within this interval but range from 50 µm to 2 mm (Becker and Batt Citation 2016).

Gold Gravity Separation
Gold Gravity Separation. The gravity separations are simple and separate mineral particles of different specific gravity. As the density of gold mineral is much bigger than gangue mineral, for the gold mine which has gold particles people often use the gravity separation process. Gravity concentration is a proven process for mineral beneficiation.
