In addition to gold, such ores include copper, lead, zinc, tungsten, and antimony. This gold ore contains large sulfides (10%–20%). In addition to pyrite, natural gold is closely related to minerals such as copper and lead. The grain size of native gold is relatively coarse, but the grain size varies widely and unevenly with the mining depth. Beneficiation methods for extracting gold from polymetallic ores can vary depending on factors such as the mineralogy of the ore, the presence of other metals, and the desired end product. Generally speaking, the beneficiation methods of polymetallic gold ore include gravity separation, flotation, cyanidation and amalgamation,etc.

• Gravity separation is often used as an initial step to separate heavy minerals such as gold from lighter gangue minerals. The method relies on density differences between particles to separate them based on their specific gravity.
• Flotation efficiently separates valuable minerals by selectively attaching certain materials to air bubbles while leaving others behind.
• Cyanidation involves treating the ore with a sodium cyanide solution, which reacts with gold to form soluble complexes that can be recovered by further processing. Amalgamation, which uses mercury and gold particles to form an amalgam, is often used in small-scale mining operations.

This type of ore is generally processed by flotation, which concentrates the gold in the non-ferrous ore concentrate and then recovers the gold during the smelting process. Gold can be obtained by cyanidation from gold-bearing concentrates produced by the flotation of sulfide minerals in mines.
