Metal production was increased to 24 metallic and 19 non-metallic minerals by the mid-twentieth century.Web

flotation, in mineral processing, method used to separate and concentrate ores by altering their surfaces to a hydrophobic or hydrophilic condition—that is, the surfaces are either repelled or attracted by water. The flotation process was developed on a commercial scale early in the 20th century to remove very fine mineral particles that ...Web

The flotation of gold-bearing ores is classified according to ore type (i.e., gold ore, gold copper ore, gold antimony ores, etc.), because the flotation methods used for the recovery of gold from different ores is vastly different.
