How Does Heap Leaching Process Work? Gold ores that are near surface are often oxidized by nature and can be leached within 1 or 2 months. The oxidation process is usually caused by exposure to water sometime in the sedimentary process of the earths surface. For instance, Nevada was a large lake millions of years ago, so you see a lot of

Heap Leaching. The mining and material handling process has been unmodified for the 10,000t/d Continuous Vat Leach case, and modified only as a result of the reduction in processing rate for the 5,000t/d CVL case. The crushing circuit has been modified as a result of the Continuous Vat Leaching process feed size requirement of 6mm.

In order to ensure good leaching kinetics and high overall gold recovery, it is . always necessary to add more cyanide during leaching than will be consumed in the leaching process. This excess cyanide reports to the tailings as uncomplexed or free cyanide, and it is often possible to recycle a portion of this cyanide at minimal cost.

Heap leaching relies on a leaching agent moving through a bed of heaped ore to extract the metallic components: Crushed ore is stacked on a leaching pad and irrigated with the leaching agent. The leaching agent chemically reacts with the metal in the ore to dissolve the copper into the solution as it percolates through the heap.
