The potential for gold mining in the alluvial deposits of the Nechí River cannot be ignored; however, the potential is finite. The organization of the miners and the establishment of cooperatives is fundamental to achieve rational exploitation of the mineral resource and to resolve the problems associated with artisanal and informal mining.

Mining is an activity that has had a considerable impact on the history of Brazil, whether from an economic, political, social, geographic, or demographic, artistic, and religious point of view. Its history is stamped by several phases starting in 1693 with gold discoveries in Minas Gerais, and diamond findings in 1729. This lasted almost 150 years …

technique for estimating the concentration of alluvium gold. The IDW method was successfully applied to the alluvial deposit of the Mpeasem Gold Project, and practical results were obtained for economic evaluations. The total volume of alluvial gold deposits was 3.4 Mm3 at an average grade of 0.46 g/m3. Economic evaluation yielded a net …

A variety of methods are adopted for alluvial sand extraction. Kondolf et al. described several methods for the extraction of sand from the active channels and floodplain/terraces of riverine environments.3.3.1 Active Channels. Instream sand and gravel mining (Plate 3.2) has been carried out by the following methods: (a) Bar scalping or …

We identified the Nfaante Tepa Alluvial Gold Mine ("Tepa") as a top-tier property located at Nfante after a ...

The transfer of skills and knowledge of alluvial gold mining took place in the 1950s and 1960s when many residents, especially around the Wau/Bulolo area, applied for and were granted MLs. By the early 1970s, most expatriates who originally held mining leases for small-scale gold mining in the country had transferred their leases to citizens.
