Gold Mining Terminology
With years of experience in mining industry, Rachana Global is a dominant player in providing services for Gold mining and Fluorite mining. Rachana Global is one such exploration and mining services provider whose name can best be associated with all the gold mining terminology as stated below:
Flour Gold/Gold Dust: Gold that is so fine that it looks and feels like flour or dust is called flour gold or gold dust.
Hard Rock Mine: A hard rock mine is a tunnel that is dug into solid rock for the sole purpose of finding valuable or precious rocks, minerals, or metals. Gold originates deep within the earth in places called Pockets. The pockets are filled with gold, heavy ore, and quartz.
Hard Rock Mining: Hard rock mining refers to the underground mining techniques used to excavate hard minerals, mainly those minerals containing metals such as ore containing gold, copper, zinc, nickel and lead.
Placer Mining: Placer Mining is the most common form of mining, it involves mining gold that has been washed away from it’s source and deposited in small cracks, holes, or sand bars in the mainstream of a river.. It almost always involves the use of water in some way or another. Placer mining tools generally include the rocker box, sluice, dredge, highbanker, shaker table, drywasher, and always the pan.
Electronic prospecting: Electronic prospecting is a method for detecting gold, silver or other types of precious metals using a metal detector. The most known of electronic prospecting is done when nuggets are searched for.
Ground Balancing: Ground balancing is the ability a metal detector has in order to ignore or get rid of the effect of detection of iron minerals or salt that is wet. Ground balancing is very important when it comes to searching for gold.
Gold Panning: The process of locating the richest gold bearing ground with the help of detecting equipments like gold pans and dredges.
Wet Panning: Wet panning is the action that is done for gold with water that is used to create the state of suspension that allows the gravity to make the gold flakes sink into the riffles of a gold pan.
Gold Metallurgy: The process of recovering gold from its ores, refining it and preparing it for commercial use is known as Gold Metallurgy.
Gold Mining: The technical and mechanical way of removing gold from its ores using various mining methods is known as Gold mining.
Gold Refining: The mechanical process of separating valuable gold from the other waste materials from its ore using gold refining equipment is called gold refining.
Smelting: Smelting is the purifying process of heating the gold with a chemical substance called flux. The flux bonds with the contaminants and floats on top of the melted gold. The gold is then cooled and allowed to harden in molds, and the flux-contaminant mixture (slag) is hauled away as a solid waste.
Gold dredging: The process of extracting gold from sand, gravel and dirt using water and mechanical methods and placer mining equipments like gold dredge is called as gold dredging.

How much? *faints*
I don’t quite "get it" from the picture. The purple part doesn’t look metallic. Does it have a brushed surface instead of a high polished finish? I am very curious. It looks like enamel so something. Tell me more, por favor.
It’s metallic but has a matt finish. Actually its a pretty bad photo as the piece was on display in a cabinet and photography was ‘discouraged’. I tried to take a photo of one of the earrings or rings but the salesman simply wasn’t having it. They also had on display a chunk of purple gold, about the size of a large chestnut to illustrate that it really is purple gold, opposed to just a coloured layer on top. Its worth a visit to Singapore just to see it
Dippingmytoes, I offered him my camera in exchange for the piece, the salesman didn’t seem interested!
so pretty!
thankyou so much for posting this for Lupus…..I treasure our friendship…x
a store here locally (Dunedin FL) sells purple gold which they make themselves.
