Geometallurgical Characterization and Automated Mineralogy of Gold Ores ...
In an average ore with 5 ppm gold (by weight), the volume grade of gold is about 1 ppm since the density of gold is around 56 times the bulk density of the ore. To measure such a sample, we would need to analyze 1 million particles to see one gold particle, if the average size of gold particle is the same as others. In order to efficiently ...
