Cyanidation: In gold-silver ores, silver can be extracted through cyanidation, a process where cyanide is used to dissolve silver and gold, which are then recovered from the solution. Smelting: Smelting involves heating silver ore in a furnace to high temperatures, allowing the metal to separate from its associated minerals.

Gold has a density of about 19 g/cm 3; pyrite has a density of about 5 g/cm 3 —that's another way to tell pyrite from gold. Quartz is even less dense than pyrite and has a density of 2.7 g/cm 3. The specific gravity of a substance compares its density to that of water.

To identify real gold, you can start by spotting rock with distinct copper tones, particularly if the geographic area of your search has yielded previous gold finds. If you happen upon a big shiny chunk of yellow rock, it may be fool's gold (iron pyrite), which is a relatively worthless lookalike mineral that triggered many short, temporary ...
