The most indispensable single book for any gold metallurgist is by Marsden & House (2nd edition). For plant design and modern refractory processes, “Gold Ore Processing” edited by Mike Adams is the current standard. Small-scale operators should prioritize “Mercury-Free Gold Mining” by Veiga & Gunson. A complete professional library should contain at least one text on cyanidation, one on refractory ores, and one on fire assaying.
2. Obras Técnicas Especializadas (Hidrometalurgia y Química)
Existen diversos manuales técnicos publicados por instituciones mineras de países como Perú, Chile y México que son fundamentales por estar adaptados a la realidad de los yacimientos latinoamericanos.
