Book Description
Where does a wannabe miner or established individual operator get the information to create a small yet highly profitable mining company? When author A R C Matuska searched for simple, practical mining books and information about the industry, he found high-powered studies, academic theses and computer modeling. In short, nothing of use to the small, practical mine operator. The best information he found was in booklets aimed at ex-servicemen after World War II, encouraging them to take up mining in the British colonies in Africa. Since then, there has not been much written in such a useful and practical manner. To answer this need, a veritable goldmine of information is included in the book Practical Mining and Gold Processing for the Small Scale Operator. Where does a newcomer to the industry find out how to sample and calculate a potential resource and plan his mining business? Where does he get the information to run a small ball mill or stamp mill? How does he set up and dress a simple amalgam plate, retort some amalgam or make up a retort, and calculate the percentage of gold in bullion? Where does a small operator find out how to set up a low-cost cyanide plant and its running procedures? And how does he improve mining and blasting efficiencies? This book provides practical applications and solutions to get you started in one of the most diverse, profitable and interesting industries. It is indexed in detail so information can be easily found without sifting through realms of data. A R C Matuska is a career miner. He owns and consults for several mining properties in East and Central Africa. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/ARCMatuska

Book Description
Excerpt from A Handbook of Gold Milling The process of differentiation, so essentially characteristic of all modern development, has of recent years extended very markedly into the province of the gold-miner. The time is not so long past since any ordinary miner was considered to be quite capable of taking a shift in the mill, and it was looked upon as part of his duty to be equally useful above and below ground. This state of things did well enough as long as rich reefs or rich portions of reefs, such as the superficial portions not uncommonly are, were alone worked; enough gold was won to more than pay expenses, and no one knew or even seemed to care how great the loss might be in the mill.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ... with advantage be made of wooden staves held together by a couple of iron hoops. At times the pavement of the arrastra is well below the surface of the ground, and then the lower part of the walls may simply consist of clay well beaten down. Wooden staves form, however, the most satisfactory wall, the height of which generally varies between 1 foot 6 inches and 4 feet 6 inches. The pavement must consist of blocks of hard stone, carefully dressed and jointed, and laid as evenly and as closely together as possible. The depth of the pavement is usually between 1 and 3 feet, and the stones between 6x6 inches, and 12x12 inches in area; the larger they are, the better. The joints should be filled with good cement, or failing this with very fine sand, worked in as thoroughly as possible. The best material for the pavement is probably a fine grained basa

The Extractive Metallurgy of Gold

Book Description
The history of gold begins in antiquity. Bits of gold were found in Spanish caves that were used by Paleolithic people around 40,000 B.C. Gold is the "child of Zeus," wrote the Greek poet Pindar. The Romans called the yellow metal aurum ("shining dawn"). Gold is the first element and first metal mentioned in the Bible, where it appears in more than 400 references. This book provides the most thorough and up-to-date information available on the extraction of gold from its ores, starting with the miner alogy of gold ores and ending with details of refining. Each chapter con cludes with a list of references including full publication information for all works cited. Sources preceded by an asterisk (*) are especially recom mended for more in-depth study. Nine appendices, helpful to both students and operators, complement the text. I have made every attempt to keep abreast of recent technical literature on the extraction of gold. Original publications through the spring of 1989 have been reviewed and cited where appropriate. This book is intended as a reference for operators, managers, and designers of gold mills and for professional prospectors. It is also designed as a textbook for extractive metallurgy courses. I am indebted to the Library of Engineering Societies in New York, which was the main source of the references in the book. The assistance of my son, Panos, in typing the manuscript is gratefully acknowledged.
