No Jokes Please ! How much amount of Earth needs to be dug out and processed to extract one Gram of Gold ?
When our earth is alread abused by us in the form pollution, should we continue digging its heart for non-productive metals like gold, silver and also Stones like Jewels?
They are used only for Luxury and Show off of wealth.
A lot of Manpower and resources are wasted in Searching, Digging, Refining, Distributing and Protecting this Metal.
Yes, it is only a Metal. It was OK in the past but now it is unnecessary and damaging to the Nature and Ecosystem.
Oh God give us the Wisdom to know what is good and what is Bad !
Most of the above answers are correct to some extent.
First of all, we in the mining business have a saying - if it can't be grown, its gotta be mined. And not all of the gold that we use comes from mining - a lot of gold is recycled.
And second of all, gold is not just a metal. It has very unique properties that can not be duplicated by any other metal. For example, if gold was cheap enough, we would use it instead of copper for electrical wires. Gold is used not only for jewelry but also for currency, electronics, medicines, dentistry, lasers, heat shielding, and other uses.
And third of all, if gold mining was "OK in the past" why is it no longer acceptable to you now? Gold mining today is carried out under much stricter environmental policies than ever before, with worker safety, environmental safety, and reclamation an integral part of the mining process.
A lot of energy and manpower is used - not wasted - in exploration, mining, and recovery of gold and other metals and minerals. That doesn't necessarily make it all bad. Every person on earth uses the rewards of mining - you used mineral resources like silica, copper, uranium, coal, iron, aluminum, tungsten, silica - and gold - to write your question on Yahoo answers. Without metals, we'd be back to the Bronze Age - no wait, that needs copper and zinc!
Now, to answer your question - the amount of rock that needs to be "dug" to extract one gram of gold depends on the grade of the ore. If gold is the only metal recovered, the average gold grade in today's mines is about 10 grams per metric tonne of ore, so that means about 100 kg to prodcue 1 g. Gold ore grades range from about 1 g/t to 30 g/t, or even more. The low grade mines, like Round Mountain, Nevada need to process a tonne of rock to recover 1 gram of gold, and mine another tonne - depending on the stripping ratio. High grade mines like Bulyanhulu, Tanzania need to mine and process a lot less, maybe 50 kg of ore to get the one gram of gold.
A lot of gold is recovered as a by-product of other metals, such as copper and molybdenum at Bingham Canyon, Utah and copper at Grasberg, Indonesia.
