The initial stage of gold mining process sees miners dig ore from underground or open pits. Mercury is then added to the pulp after the ore is crushed, where an amalgam is formed with the gold. Burning coal or blowtorches are subsequently used to obtain the gold after the mercury has undergone evaporation ( Niane et al., 2019 ).

Mercury ores are usually formed by low-temperature, dilute (3–5 grams per liter) hydrothermal solutions having the temperatures 250–100C, and, less often, by superheated gas-liquid emanations saturated with mercury vapor. In this regard, distinctions are made between hydrothermal, telethermal, and volcanic mercury ores.

01.09.2022Mining, by both surface and underground methods, began in 1931, and mercury was recovered yearly through 1944. At any given location, few ore reserves were established due to lack of organized exploration. Minor, but rich, placer cinnabar was recovered at the Parker Hill mill site in Pike County and added to the primary ore before roasting.
