2.2 Classification of Gold Ores Oraby (2009) classifies gold ores in seven categories as presented below: 1. Free milling ores: from which cyanidation can extract 95% of the gold when the ore is ground to a size of 80% under 75 μm. For example palaeoplacer and quartz vein gold are the two main classes of free milling ores. 2.
