The history of gold begins in antiquity. Bits of gold were found in
Spanish caves that were used by Paleolithic people around 40,000
B.C. Gold is the "child of Zeus," wrote the Greek poet Pindar. The
Romans called the yellow metal aurum ("shining dawn"). Gold is the
first element and first metal mentioned in the Bible, where it
appears in more than 400 references. This book provides the most
thorough and up-to-date information available on the extraction of
gold from its ores, starting with the miner alogy of gold ores and
ending with details of refining. Each chapter con cludes with a
list of references including full publication information for all
works cited. Sources preceded by an asterisk (*) are especially
recom mended for more in-depth study. Nine appendices, helpful to
both students and operators, complement the text. I have made every
attempt to keep abreast of recent technical literature on the
extraction of gold. Original publications through the spring of
1989 have been reviewed and cited where appropriate. This book is
intended as a reference for operators, managers, and designers of
gold mills and for professional prospectors. It is also designed as
a textbook for extractive metallurgy courses. I am indebted to the
Library of Engineering Societies in New York, which was the main
source of the references in the book. The assistance of my son,
Panos, in typing the manuscript is gratefully acknowledged."
