Leaching Gold Circuits. This flowsheet is the lowest in price, and can be used on what are commonly termed as "free milling" gold ores where a high percentage of the values are free and where these values are unlocked at reasonably coarse grinding. This flowsheet is often used for treating high grade pockets.

Heap leaching is an industrial mining process of separating precious metals, copper, and other minerals, from ores. It involves a series of chemical processes, through which the mineral ores are piled into the form of a heap, and a leach solution is spread over the ore surface to leach metal from the heap. Heap leaching may take several weeks ...

Sulfuric acid is introduced into the process in two locations. The first location is during the agglomeration process, where 35-45% of the total required acid is introduced immediately to the ore. The second location is through acid contained in the raffinate, where the remaining 55-65% of the required acid is delivered over the full leach cycle.
