Review of gold extraction from ores
Firstly, in highly refractory ores, the gold can be locked up in the mineral matrix so that leach reagents are unable to reach it. Secondly, in complex ores, reactive minerals in the ore can consume the leach reagents in side reactions and there may be insufficient cyanide and/or oxygen in the pulp to leach the gold.
Heap Leaching of Gold and Silver Ores
Gold recovery efficiency from operating heap leaches is typically ∼70%, although it can range from 50% to 90%. Silver recovery efficiency is typically ∼55%. Most gold heap leaches apply cyanide within a range of 200–600 mg/L NaCN. Silver-bearing ores should usually be leached with a cyanide level of 600–1000 mg/L NaCN.
