But scientists have now found four species of nematode, or roundworm, lurking in South Africa's gold mines at depths where only singlecelled bacteria were
The selfsustaining bacterial community, which thrives in nutrientrich groundwater found near a South African gold mine, has been isolated from the Earth's

A bacteriarich process currently being used in Barberton, a town in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa, can help liberate ultrafine gold locked in sulphide crystals. The experiment, called Biox
“Compared to other methods of refractory gold extraction, we believe BIOX® to be by far the safest and most efficient solution to recover gold in an environmentally friendly manner,” van Niekerk says..

Mine water is an example of an extreme environment that contains a large number of diverse and specific bacteria. It is imperative to gain an understanding of these bacterial communities in order to develop effective strategies for the bioremediation of polluted aquatic systems. In this study, the highthroughput sequencing approach was
The use of bacteria in gold extraction, known as biomining, has received considerable attention due to the potential roles played by these bacteria in the recovery of gold from goldbearing ores.

Washington, D.C.–Researchers have discovered an isolated, selfsustaining, bacterial community living under extreme conditions almost two miles deep beneath the surface in a South African gold mine.
Industrial scale mining in South Africa began in the 1850’s with the establishment of the first copper mine. Then, in 1867, diamonds were discovered in Hopetown, and in 1870 gold was discovered.
In 1852, the English prospector J.H. Davis discovered the first gold in the Witwatersrand, leading to the South African gold rush and the discovery of much more gold deposits within the basin
Mining lower grade ore requires the extraction and processing of much more ore to get the same amount of gold. Partially due to cyanide, modern mines are. much larger than before cyanide was used; create vast open pits;
From Ghana to Burkina Faso we profile the leading gold producers across the African continent. 1. Ghana 142.4 tonnes. One of the Dark Continent’s top gold mining countries, Ghana grabbed the top spot
