Fruit of a miner's labors

Usage examples of ore.

Again, if the ore is washed with water before treating with cyanide on the large scale, then the assay should be made of the acidity of the ore after a similar washing.

It may happen that with an unknown ore the first assay will be more or less unsatisfactory: but from it the necessity for adding more or less flour will be learnt, and a second assay, with the necessary modification of the charge, should give a good result.

There at present nothing is talked of but copper mines and silver or argentiferous copper ores.

The largest asteroid in this sector had deposits of armalcolite ore they needed to fix the Oltion circuits in the warp processor.

Its chief ores are smaltite and cobaltite, which are arsenides of cobalt, with more or less iron, nickel, and copper.

The assayer, however, uses the sample which he has dried for his moisture-determination, as the dry ore on which he makes his other assays, and no variation in moisture would influence the other and more important determinations.

But they are treated here because they owe their importance to their use in the extraction of gold and because their determination has become a part of the ordinary work of an assayer of gold ores.

Many assayers use flasks, though of a smaller size, for the ordinary partings in assaying gold ores.

The bad effect of a higher temperature in increasing the cupellation loss need hardly be considered in the case of such small buttons of gold as are obtained in assaying gold ores, as any loss there may be is hardly appreciable by the balance.

And in the parting of such gold buttons as are obtained in assaying ores it is well to aim at this proportion, though absolute precision is not a matter of importance.

It is certainly the most ready and expeditious mode of determining the commercial value of a parcel of tin ore, which, after all, is the main object of all assaying operations.

Yet there was one who made the Zulu people out of nothing, as a potter fashions a vessel from clay, as a smith fashions an assegai out of the ore of the hills, yes, and tempers it with human blood.

More important, however, were the assay reports, prepared by experts, stating that the loose ore found in the Aureole Mine was rich in gold.

The exhibits included specimens of gold dust from the Aureole and actual samples of the glittering ore.
