ROASTING GOLD ORE - SMALL SCALE GOLD MINING.

Roasting gold ore that was the result of small scale hard rock mining here in Colorado. To roast the concentrate that came from the separator table I used a propane furnace . This converted some of iron in the or to ferrous iron that a magnet can pick up. Be aware that roasting ore will burn out the sulfur making a very noxious gas. Burning pyrite out of gold ore is a bad idea if you cant properly deal with the gasses it will make. I also used a ball mill and a jaw crusher and a shaker table. The ball mill grinding process was easy. I even used a magnetic separator to to concentrate the ore. I built my own diy shaker table. This helped with metal separation. there is still plenty of Colorado gold in the mining districts. so don't hesitate to make your own shaker table . Learning these skills will help you with your analysis. With prices being what they are you can expect a new gold rush. Roasted gold ore may also release free gold that can be paned out.
