Abstract Scope |
The glacial sediments and river sediments from Tintina Trench in Yukon, Canada were investigated. The sediments in the area showed complex mineralogical, petrological, and geochemical characteristics, and a various sedimental structure. The gold component was found that existing in a liberate state away from rock particles and with a particle size of 0.5-150 microns. All the recovered gold particles are flake-like with traits of mechanically flatten. The fine particles even are floatable on water surface. These characteristics of the placer gold are benefitable but also challengeable to the recovery process of gold. |
