Description
This dataset is a market dataset representing the consumption market of the region. The dataset includes the transport of the product from the gate to the consumption end, and the transport service is calculated based on the transport situation of the product in the region. The product represented by this dataset is gold raw ore, the starting point and most basic raw material of the gold industry chain. Its characteristics are low grade, multi-metal association, and gold mainly disseminated in fine or very fine grains, with complex extraction technology. Its upstream is the geologically significant gold ore body, downstream is the beneficiation and smelting processes, and the final product is gold ingot. The system boundary of this dataset is strictly limited to the 'cradle to gate' mining stage, covering the entire process starting from the in-situ blasting and crushing of the ore body, going through underground loading, transport and hoisting until the ore is transported to the raw ore bin of the surface beneficiation plant. Specifically, it includes the blasting materials, energy (electricity, diesel), support materials and water directly consumed in the above mining activities, as well as the waste rock, mine water inflow and waste gas (such as blasting fumes and diesel equipment exhaust) generated. The dataset includes the main raw and auxiliary materials, energy and waste of the production process; infrastructure such as production equipment manufacturing and plant construction is not included within the dataset boundary; the data inventory is formed by merging data from multiple sources.
Activity Description
The entire production process includes the gold mining process, and the entire process covers the process of obtaining gold ore from gold mining.
Process Description
Gold raw ore refers to gold-containing ore mined from mines manually or mechanically, which is usually accompanied by impurity metals such as silver, copper, iron, arsenic, zinc, etc. The ore grade is 2.04%. Gold is crystalline at room temperature and belongs to the equiaxed crystal system with a cubic face-centered lattice. However, gold particles with complete crystal forms in the natural state are extremely rare and often appear in irregular granular, agglomerate, flake, network, dendritic, fibrous or sponge-like aggregates. Pure gold is golden in color and may change color when it contains impurities.

Technology comment
Gold mining uses underground mining methods, using explosives to crush the ore and extract it from the ore body.
