This 8 gram piece of ore comes straight from a claim on Vancouver Island, in beautiful British Columbia.
We have been mining this claim for close to five years. Due to the fact some customers that are unaware about what kind and grade of mineral ore our company mines, as well as the correct way to separate the metals we have created a longer description below. That include refinement methods as well as an elemental list of all elements within our ore the varying concentrations listed in parts per million. Enjoy :)
Popular Minerals Found In Our Ore This is a list of all the elements that have shown up on the assays on our iron ore claim. Each will display the element name as well as the concentration range that has been found. Results from assays are taken from average ore samples as we try to find an average grade for the entire claim area mined. These range of concentration is based on 50 samples.

Classification Of Ores - ores are rocks containing metals or elements that can be mined and extracted economically. Placers, Free milling ores, oxidized ores, Silver-rich ores, Iron sulphides, arsenic sulphides, Copper sulphides, antimony sulphides, Telluride’s and Carbonaceous are all types of ores.
Iron Ores & Other Metals - Sulfide ores, and pyrites in particular, most visible gold can’t be seen unless under microscopic examination. However, if the ore is ground to -200 mesh, most times, specs of gold can be visibly seen under microscopic examination. Based upon many case studies reviewed, geologist consulting, as well as 100’s of hours of iron and non-iron ore examination, it appears that gold particles in pyrite are generally fine, ranging from 75 microns down to 2 or 3 microns. The rate or frequency of fine gold\'s quantity, also appears to be related to the gold concentration, as well. If the assay is 2 ounces per ton, there are generally larger gold particles present along with the typically fine micron sized gold. When the grade diminishes to say, 0.2 ounces per ton, there are generally only very small or micron sized particles associated with the pyrites in the ore.
Geologists have many theories why and how the gold occurs with pyrite, many seem to agree that in sulfide gold ores, the occurrence of gold appears to occur as a replacement of other minerals, possibly iron. The gold occurs as tiny flakes on the crystallographic planes of the pyrite. The gold flakes are very small in size, about 10 microns. The pyrite in which small amounts of gold occurs is of crystalline variety. The characteristics of pyrite are an absence of porosity, an extreme brittleness, a resistance to oxidation, and the existence of gold possessing a weak susceptibility to magnetism, this is due to a fine coating of an iron compound.
Recovery of gold in sulfide ores falls into several categories. First there is froth flotation, and second is cyanidation of the ores. Using cyanide to recover gold from sulfide ores generally results in 35 to 50% recovery. Low grade ores that do not respond well to cyanide or flotation are generally referred to a refractory ore. Which usually means that it needs to be roasted to release the gold. Gravity concentration tends to recover the pyrite with the gold, and only removes the lighter minerals, such as quartz, from the ore. The most difficult particles to gravity concentrate are the fines, and 75 microns to 2 microns are fine. So, even if the ore were ground to 2-3 microns, it may not be totally recoverable using gravity technology. That leaves froth flotation as still the best method of recovering the gold from pyritic ores. Sulfide ores, such as chalcopyrite, sphaelerite, galena, and pyrrhotite, and mixtures of these ores have historically been found with very small or micron size gold particles included in them.
Froth flotation - Let’s branch off and quickly summarize froth flotation. Froth flotation is considered to be the most widely used method for ore beneficiation. In ore beneficiation, flotation is a process in which valuable minerals are separated from the worthless material or other valuable minerals by rising them to gather in and on the surface of a froth layer. Sulfide and non-sulfide minerals as well as native metals are recovered by froth flotation. This process is based on the ability of certain chemicals to modify the surface properties of the minerals. ther chemicals are used to generate the froth, others are used to adjust the pH levels. Certain chemicals can be used in depressing the flotation of minerals that are either to be recovered at a later time or are not to be recovered at all.
The process of froth flotation involves crushing and grinding the ore to a fine size. This fine grinding separates the individual mineral particles from the waste rock and other mineral particles. The grinding is normally done in water with the resultant slurry called the pulp. The pulp is processed in the flotation cells, which agitate the mixture and introduce air as small bubbles.
The ability of a mineral to float depends upon its surface properties. Chemical modification of these properties enables the mineral particles to attach to an air bubble in the flotation cell. The air bubble and mineral particle rise through the pulp to the surface of the froth or foam that is present on the flotation cell. Even though the air bubbles usually burst by this point, the mineral remains on the surface of the froth. The mineral is physically separated from the remaining pulp material and is removed for further processing.
Free Milling Metals In Iron Ore - The two main classes of free milling ores are placers and quartz vein gold ores. Some epithermal deposits may be free milling or contain free milling but more commonly contain significant concentrations of sulphides and are considered in other classes. Various non-placer gold ore types can be classified as free milling. These are usually formed as a result of deposition from hydrothermal solutions. Epithermal deposits may fall in this category. Quartz-gold veins or lode comprise a variety of deposits which are essentially hydrothermal veins of quartz and gold that either replace wall rock or fill open spaces along fractured ones.
Typically extracting free milling metals can be done using a “crush and pan” method. Metals in sulphides can be removed this way but usually are to fine to tell the difference of the metal unless examined under a microscope.
However if the sulphide mineral contains some free milling metals this extraction process may work to remove the valuable metals. All ore from this claim contains free milling metals but in varying amounts.
