It added that the gold ore market is expected to reach $26.96 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 10.8%.  The report said: “The main gold ore mining methods include placer mining, hard rock mining, and others. Placer gold mining is the method of using water to excavate, transport, concentrate, and recover heavy minerals from placer deposits (collections of gold existing in discrete particles or mixed with sand).  The applications include cupellation method refining, inquartation method refining, miller chlorination process refining, Wohlwill electrolytic process refining, and aqua regia process refining used in investment, jewelry, and others.”  Active Companies in the markets today include Asia Broadband Inc.

ReportLinker continued: “Gold is extracted from the gold ores by using the gold mining process, and the extracted gold is then converted into a form such that it can be used for making gold jewelry. Gold jewelry refers to ornaments that are made of gold as a primary material.  The increase in demand for gold jewelry propelled and is driving the growth of the gold ore market.  Technological advancements are a key trend gaining popularity in the gold ore market. Companies operating in the gold ore market are adopting new technologies to sustain their position in the market.”
