  1. Comprehensive Energy Use Database Table- Industrial Sector – Disaggregated Industries Canada Table 11: Gold and Silver Mines Secondary Energy Use and GHG Emissions http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/corporate/statistics/neud/dpa/showTable.cfm?type=CP&sector=id&juris=ca&rn=11&page=4&CFID=31527427&CFTOKEN=585dbeb878ebdc5c-6C4E0DD4-B191-1BDD-B58F8C1C0A51BE94

  2. impact of gold mining on the use of water and energy consumption is hard to say because of the differences in ore types, mining methods, and processing techniques it is difficult to make generalizations about the gold mine’s water footprint impact on its immediate surroundings. But i am posting here a documnet on Gold Mining and the Use, Quality and Availability of Water by James L. Hendrix ,Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Department, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska, USA .http://www.arber.com.tr/imps2012.org/proceedingsebook/Abstract/absfilAbstractSubmissionFullContent438.pdf may be of any use.
