Gold mining information

Today the gold industry is well established and instead of hundreds of gold miners panning for gold in riverbeds, the work is done by huge machines that sift through mountains of rock, extracting microscopic amounts of the precious metal. As little as 3 grams per tonne is now considered a payable amount. After coal, iron ore, and crude petroleum, gold currently ranks fourth in value of all Australia's merchandise exports.

Hard rock ores form the basis of the majority of commercial gold recovery operations, and are mined using open pit or sub-surface mining techniques. Gold is then extracted from the ore through a combination of comminution, mineral processing, hydrometallurgical, and pyrometallurgical processes to be performed on the ore.

Gold mine tourist attractions

Gold mine tourist attractions are great for kids and adults alike, with heaps of activities and opportunities to learn about gold mining and the life of gold miners. Experience how mining was done in the 1800s through gold mine tours, panning for gold, and exploring gold mine museums. Even take home a free sample of gold ore.
Some mines will even allow you to work the mine drills and search for quartz pieces for gold. You can also find recreation of old gold mining towns, complete with actors in costumes from the pertaining era and period accommodation.

Welcome to the Homestake Gold Mine Visitors Center's Website
http://www.homestaketour.com/
The story of the famous Black Hills Gold Rush has been told and retold. These accounts include countless history books, numerous fictional novels and most recently HBO’s loosely historical series, Deadwood.

Yet gold was to play a huge role in the area’s history, economy and development for many, many years to come.
Without a doubt, the best place to begin to uncover the fascinating story of the Homestake Gold Mine is the Homestake Visitor Center at 160 West Main Street, Lead SD. The Homestake Visitor Center provides captivating surface tours that explore the historic town of Lead and both Homestake Gold Mine's underground and surface operations.
