Contents. 1 Obtaining. 1.1 Breaking; 1.2 Natural generation; 2 Usage. 2.1 Smelting ingredient; 2.2 Piglins; 2.3 Note blocks;

The best way to look for gold ore are the places that have had previous gold mining activity, including the gold deposits and the areas with productive rocks. Lode gold deposits are usually located along linear structures of deposition in quartz veins in the hard rock. Placer deposits, also known as placer areas, are located in river and stream ...

There are a number of well-established processes used for gold recovery from secondary sources, such as liquid–liquid extraction, coprecipitation, membrane separation, ion exchange, solvent extraction, or adsorption.

With the continuous mining of gold ore, the discharge of gold mine tailings has also increased, which inevitably brings a series of problems, such as environmental pollution and resource waste. ...

Quartz is classically aligned with gold.The majority of hard rock deposits found appear to occur in quartz, and gold-in-quartz has even taken on a life of its own. The gold that appears in quartz is almost universally native, meaning that it's in a metallic form contained in the crystalline quartz. It's universally considered the richest of the gold ores out there.
