Summary

Combined geological and metallurgical research work has indicated the existence of appreciable concentrations of placer gold in the sediments of the flysch of the Ionian Zone in Western Greece as well as the possibility to recover it by an environmentally acceptable method. In these sediments gold exists as free metal in the form of flakes and nuggets in sizes of the range 5-1000 μm. Laboratory test work has proved that the recovery of gold by modern gravitational methods, which are environmentally friendly, is satisfactory and comparable with the recovery obtained by the method of cyanidation.
