[QUOTE="Ganibade, post: 301545, member: 50186"] Popular pictures of gold miners pounding pick axes into deep gold veins or panning for nuggets in mountain streams no longer accurately depict how gold is mined today. The majority of the gold-rich veins on earth have been depleted. Due to its scarcity, gold must be extracted by blasting large open pits, followed by the excavation of a significant amount of ore. To release any gold that may be embedded in the rocks, the ore is crushed into tiny particles. To dissolve the gold, the tiny particles must be treated with a liquid solvent and mixed with water to create a powder. The only known substance that can dissolve gold through a process known as gold dissolution is cyanide, a highly poisonous chemical. The most significant environmental issue associated with gold mining is the impact of mines on the surrounding environment. To mandate that mining sites be returned to their original contours, the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 was passed. Prior to receiving a mining permit, the act also mandates that a mining operator submit a plan for restoring the land and one for reducing acid mine drainage. The fact that gold can be recycled is one of its most profound qualities. With gold prices at an all-time high in recent years, individuals across the nation have been hosting gold parties in an effort to recycle old gold jewelry.
