Historic Gold Processing Technique Again Viable
In the early 1900s, vat leaching was a common process for treating gold ores. It was, however, labor intensive and was abandoned in the 1930s. Technology advances in recent years, though, have caused vat leaching to once again become a viable alternative in precious metal processing. At least three plants have been built. Others …

Recovery of gold from refractory gold ores: Effect of …
Gold mining is a global business carried out in every continent ex-cept Antarctica. Approximately 190000 tons of gold has been mined since 1950; however, high-quality ores have gradu-ally been depleted, and refractory gold ores (RGOs) make up approximately one-third of the total gold production from natural ores [3–4]. Recovery of gold from ...

Mining ore was, however, only an initial step in the process of extracting metals from nature's tenacious grip. As Greever concedes "to separate gold from ... ore was a difficult process.2 There is, then, a second factor inherent to the mining industry. This second step involves milling or processing the ore to recover its metallic content.

Refractory gold evaluation
Refractory gold ores generally contain sulphide minerals, and as such, a primary flotation stage is the obvious choice to concentrate the sulphides into a smaller mass for downstream pre-treatment prior to cyanidation rather than whole of ore processing. Gold sulphide flotation is relatively straightforward and ALS can seamlessly marry this ...
