Gold ore is a type of rock that contains gold minerals or particles in quantities sufficient to make mining and extracting the gold economically viable.
The primary gold ore mining methods include placer mining, hard rock mining, and various other approaches. Placer gold mining involves using water to excavate, transport, concentrate, and recover heavy minerals from placer deposits, which are collections of gold existing in discrete particles or mixed with sand. Applications of gold ore refining methods include the cupellation method, inquartation method, Miller chlorination process, Wohlwill electrolytic process, and aqua regia process. These refining methods find use in various industries such as investment, jewelry, and others.

The growth of the gold ore market has been propelled by an increase in the demand for gold jewelry. Gold jewelry, crafted primarily from gold, relies on the extraction of gold from gold ores through the gold mining process. This extracted gold is then transformed into a usable form for crafting jewelry. Notably, the World Gold Council reported a surge in worldwide annual gold jewelry consumption, reaching 2,123 tons in 2021, marking a significant 52% increase from the 1,401 tons recorded in 2020. The escalating demand for gold jewelry stands as a driving force behind the growth of the gold ore market.
The gold ore market is anticipated to experience growth due to the expansion of mining activities. Mining activities involve the extraction of valuable geological materials and minerals from the Earth, including gold mining, which plays a pivotal role in gold ore production. An example is the data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics in June 2023, indicating that mineral exploration expenditure reached $1,039 million in the second quarter, reflecting a 0.8% increase from the preceding quarter. This trend highlights the growing mining activities as a significant factor driving the gold ore market.
A prominent trend in the gold ore market is the adoption of technological advancements by companies to sustain their positions. For instance, RG Gold, a Kazakhstan-based gold mining company, introduced a processing plant in October 2022, designed and constructed in compliance with international safety and environmental standards. The plant utilizes Carbon in Pulp (CIP) technology, a method for extracting gold from gold ore using activated carbon, with an annual processing capacity of approximately 5 million metric tons of gold-containing ore.
Major players in the gold ore market are actively introducing innovative technological solutions, including mercury detoxification technologies, to gain a competitive advantage. Mercury detoxification technology addresses potential health and environmental hazards associated with mercury exposure. GoldTech, a US-based provider of IT operation services, launched an innovative mercury detoxification technology for the mining industry in September 2022. This technology facilitates the safe and effective removal of gold and mercury from polluted tailings and the recovery of free gold from oxidized ores, alluvial deposits, and soils.
In March 2022, Newcrest Mining Limited, an Australia-based gold mining company, acquired Pretium Resources. The acquisition aims to leverage Pretium Resources' expertise in acquiring, exploring, and developing precious metal resource properties, contributing to Newcrest's three-phase transformation program focused on optimization, unlocking potential, and sustainable growth.
