The artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) district of Portovelo-Zaruma is the oldest and largest of its kind in Ecuador. Gold mining has occurred in this region since the Incan conquest in the 15th century, scaled up by the Spanish crown in the 16th century and consolidated by the presence of South American Development Company (SADCO) from the beginning of the 20th century.

The Mining Process. 1. Mining - Open Pit and Underground — To define the ore from the waste rock, samples are taken and assayed. Assay results are used to mark out areas of ore and waste rock, which are mined separately. Some of the harder areas require blasting to loosen the rock prior to excavation by hydraulic diggers.

Miners use rudimentary tools to mine and process ore, adding elemental mercury to amalgamate fine gold particles after grinding the ore in a ball mill and concentrating by panning. Miners separate the gold from the amalgam by "burning" the amalgam, volatilizing the elemental mercury and dispersing it throughout mining camps.

Successful gold mining is generally done in two steps: First is sampling or prospecting, and then, production. While some gold-bearing creeks and rivers tend to have gold values dispersed throughout their entire streambeds, there is generally not enough gold to make a small-scale mining operation payoff very well.
