3. By-product Gold Mining. By-product gold mining involves extracting other metals such as copper or silver while mining for gold. Although these additional metals are not the main focus of the mining operation, they are a valuable by-product. Gold mining companies can benefit from the extra revenue generated by these by-products.Web

sufficient to justify mining them. As it is a by-product of zinc, the production of cadmium is more dependent on production of refined zinc than on market demand. The percentage of cadmium in zinc concentrates varies from mine to mine, ranging from 0.07 to 0.83 per cent with an average of 0.23 % while zinc concentration is typically 55%.Web

Other than hard rock mining, gold is also produced from open-pit mining and by-product mining, where gold is found alongside other material [13,16]. After being extracted from the ground, unrefined ores must be furtherly processed to fully recover the gold deposit. Gold cyanidation is currently the main method used to process gold ores.Web
