  Cyanidation of mercury-rich tailings in artisanal and small-scale gold ...

  201161 · Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) is the leading global source of anthropogenic mercury (Hg) release to the environment. Top-down mercury reduction efforts have had limited results, but a bottom-up embrace of cyanide (CN) processing could eventually displace mercury amalgamation for gold recovery.

  Risk analysis of gold processing in artisanal and small-scale gold ...

  The results showed that the stage of gold processing work in ASGM consists of 13 sources of hazards that can pose 16 risks. The obtained risk assessment results showed that 19% were low risk, 31% moderate risk, 25% high risk, and 25% very high risk caused by exposure to mercury through the gold ore burning process with a risk value of 25.

  Mapping the Reality of Hg-Free Artisanal Small-Scale Gold …

  202392 · Keywords: mining sustainability; artisanal small-scale gold mining; Hg-free. 1. Introduction. The concept of “sustainable mining operations” is based on the efficiency of operations and rigorous mine planning and adherence to the plan to ensure maximum efficiency. In most cases, small-scale mining (SSM) fails to employ proper mine planning.
