From Rock to Gold Bar: Complete Gold Mining Process in Sudan 2026
Introduction
Imagine: an ordinary rock in the mountains of the Nile River... After 7 steps it turns into a 24-carat gold bar. This is the journey we will take with you today.
Stage 1: Blasting & Extraction
Objective: Extract ore from the mountain
Equipment: Excavators + Explosives
Mistake and Consequences: Random blasting wastes ore
Stage 2: Primary Crushing
Objective: Break large rocks into small pieces of 10cm
Equipment: Jaw Crusher
Mistake and Consequences: A weak crusher stops the entire plant
Stage 3: Grinding
Objective: Convert pieces into fine powder to extract gold
Equipment: There are two types of mills
1. Wet Mills: Low recovery rate
2. Dry Mills: Better recovery rate
Note: What remains of the stones is locally called "Karta" and it is used in treatment stage number five.
Mistake and Consequences: Incomplete grinding = lost gold
Stage 4: Gravity Separation
Objective: Recover 30% of free gold without chemicals
Equipment: Shaking Table + Centrifuge
Mistake and Consequences: Skipping this stage costs you money
Stage 5: CIL / CIP Cyanidation
Objective: Dissolve the remaining gold in solution
Equipment: CIL Tanks with activated carbon
Important: An environmental safety system approved by SSMO is required
Stage 6: Electrowinning
Objective: Extract gold from the solution
Equipment: Electrowinning Cells
Stage 7: Smelting
Objective: Pour the final gold bar
Equipment: Smelting Furnace + Molds
Conclusion
This is the complete process. Losing any of the stages may reduce production efficiency and lead to financial losses or wasted gold.
The company has a technical team capable of designing and implementing all stages with high efficiency and quality, with flexible and suitable costs.
