Mate and I are sussing out a possible small mining claim here in Qld. It will be alluvial mining with perhaps shafts to 40ft. Attached picture is a sample I picked off the top of a mullock heap, a little blurry but you get the idea. Only a small piece but I cracked it open after seeing a little colour on the outside.
All About Chalcopyrite.

From 1880 through 1959, a total of 496,000 ounces of gold was mined in the county. Most of this was lode production, but a considerable quantity was a byproduct from lead-silver, tungsten, and copper ores. Mining began as early as 1861 (Knopf, 1918, p. 105) in the Russ district in the Inyo Range, but production data for these early years are ...

In many countries, elemental mercury is used in artisanal and small-scale gold mining. Mercury is mixed with gold-containing materials, forming a mercury-gold amalgam which is then heated, vaporizing the mercury to obtain the gold. This process can be very dangerous and lead to significant mercury exposure and health risks.
