Dolcoath mine, Camborne, 1831
This image comes from the following book:
BUCKLEY, J A - "Cornish Mining - at Surface", Tor Mark Press, Penryn, 1990, ISBN 0 85025 325 X, page 5. The caption there is as follows:
"Dolcoath was among the greatest of all copper mines in the late eighteenth century. Although declining as a copper mine at the time of this engraving by T Allom (1831) it was to rise again as the greatest tin mine ever seen in Cornwall. In sheer size, depth, output and profits Dolcoath stood head and shoulders above all other Cornish tin producers. Note the bal-maids spalling and cobbing the copper ore, the kibbles or baskets of ore being landed, and the enormous thickness of the rope wound round the capstan in the foreground."
A Cornish mine of 1840
This image comes from the following book:
FAULL, Jim - "The Cornish in Australia", Australian Ethnic Heritage Series, A E Press, Melbourne, 1983, ISBN 0 86787 200 4, page 10. The caption there is as follows:
"This sketch first appeared in 1842, in Cyrus Redding's Illustrated Itinerary of Cornwall. It shows typical features of a Cornish mine in the 1840s. There is an engine house, and a horse whim (left) and a rope whim for hauling ore to the surface. In the foreground are women ('bal maidens') breaking up the ore with hammers."
Faull acknowledged the South Australian Archives for this image.

Gold mineralogy:
Natural resources of elemental gold are mainly contained in the mineral gold (plus 85%Au) and in seawater. The oceans contain a major resource of gold in solution but individual estimates are variable, depending upon the location of samples, which appear to range in gold content from as low as 0.1 to as high as 2.0 ppb by weight. However, attempts to recover gold from seawater on a commercial scale have so far failed, mainly because of the large quantities of water involved; ion exchange appears to offer the present best avenue for research. Salt, bromine and magnesia are recovered from seawater on a large scale hence the oceans must be regarded as a potential gold source of major proportions.

Gold geochemistry:
Two important aspects of the aqueous geochemistry of gold are its chemistry
And the particular properties of the matrix solution (e.g. acidity, pH and
Oxidation potential, EH). Salinity can arise from various processes including rock
Weathering and dissolution of previously deposited halite, evaporation, sea water
And aerosol deposition of seawater. Acidity, which is usually measured as pH
And factors such as pH, Eh, and salinity have major effects on the speciation and
Solubility of gold.
