The amalgamation process works well for an ore containing the gold in the metallic state, free from arsenic and much sulphur. To obtain the gold from the amalgam, the mercury is distilled off and used over again while the residual gold is melted. Gold Chlorination. In chlorination the ore is ground, sometimes concentrated, and always roasted ...

In California the total loss of mercury varies from 1/5 to 1 oz. of mercury per ton of ore crushed, the mean being about ½ oz. per ton. Most of the mercury is lost as such and not in the form of amalgam, as is proved by the fact that where the largest proportion of mercury is fed into the battery the greatest loss takes place but the highest percentage of gold is recovered.
