• A cikin filin: Gold occurs in three primary forms—Placer (loose nuggets), Free-Milling (visible in quartz), and Refractory (invisible, locked in sulfides). You can identify visible gold by testing its malleability (it dents, never shatters) and its streak (it leaves a pure yellow powder, unlike the greenish-black of pyrite).
• A cikin Dakin Gwaji: Domin mafi yawancin zinari na kasuwanci na zamani suna kananan ƙwayoyi ne masu ƙananan gani, don haka gane su ta hanyar gani ba isa ba ne. Dole ne ku yi amfani da hanyoyin gwaji na dakin gwaje-gwaje kamar Fire Assaying (shaƙuwa da dutsen don fitar da metal) ko Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) don tabbatar da ainihin darajar (grama a kowace ton) na kabari na zinari.

Wannan shi ne zinariya da aka kori daga asalin kahon da ta ke a ciki ta hanyar shekaru miliyoyin shekaru na lalacewar yanayi na halitta ( iska, kankara, sanyi/fasa, da kuma kwararar ruwa).

• Geology: Because gold is extraordinarily dense (19.3 g/cm³), it sinks to the lowest possible point when moved by water. As rivers flow, lighter rocks wash away, but gold drops out of the current and accumulates in deep bedrock cracks or behind large boulders.
• Appearance: Daga ƙananan "gurin fulawa" mai ƙananan ƙwayar dinki zuwa babban, santsi, da nugget na ruwa. Saboda an doke shi da duwatsu a kogin, gold ɗin placer yawanci yana da yawa, mai tsabta ne, kuma gefensa na da yaki sosai.

2.1 Gossan da Tsarewar Feɗa (" Hular Feƙa")

When sulfide minerals (which often host gold) weather and decay at the earth's surface, they rust. A heavily iron-stained, reddish-brown, or orange-crusted quartz vein—known by geologists as a "gossan"—is a massive green flag. The sulfides have rotted away, often leaving native gold sitting inside a spongy, rusted rock.

2.2 Alamomi Minera

Azurfa tana yin tafiya ƙanƙanin lokaci daga ita kaɗai. Yanayin ruwa mai zafi da ke daukar azurfa zuwa saman yawanci yana ɗaukar ƙarfe na tushe ma. Ka yi hankali da:

Inda waɗannan allunan gaban ke wanzuwa da yawa, zinariya da azurfa sukan ɓoye a kusa da su akai-akai.

2.3 Tsarukan Tekinike na Dutse (Tsarin Ruwa na Gine-gine)

Solid, unbroken bedrock rarely holds gold. Gold needs a "plumbing system" to travel from the earth's mantle to the surface. Look for fault lines, shear zones, and contact zones (areas where two completely different types of rock meet). The extreme heat, pressure, and cracking at these boundaries create the perfect void spaces for quartz and gold to crystallize.

2.4 Na'ukan Dutsen Shirun Fari Mai Ƙarfi

Idan kana yin leda a kogin, ka mai da hankali ga duwatsu masu nauyi mai launin baki da suka rage a kasan tukunyar ka. Wadannan su kan kasance magnetite ko hematite (ma'adanai masu nauyin iron).

Gwajin gobara shi ne tsohuwar, mafi amincewa, kuma an yarda da shi gabaɗaya wajen tantance ɗauke da zinariya da azurfa.

Tsari: The rock is pulverized into a fine powder and mixed with a chemical flux (including lead oxide, borax, and silica). The mixture is placed in a crucible and fired in a furnace at over 1,000°C (1,832°F). The lead melts, binds with the precious metals, and sinks to the bottom. After cooling, the lead "button" is extracted and placed in a bone-ash cupel, which absorbs the lead when re-heated, leaving behind a tiny, pure bead of gold and silver (called a prill). The silver is dissolved with nitric acid, and the remaining gold is weighed on a microbalance.

Dalilin amfani da shi: Yana da matukar dacewa kuma yana samar da ingantaccen mataki na farko na nazarin yiwuwar hakar ma'adinai na kasuwanci.
