Copper–gold ore processing with ion exchange and SART technology

The deposit at Gedabek is a copper–gold porphyry, comprising both oxide and sulphide ore mineralisation, which is being mined at the rate of about 1 million tons of ore per year. Ore processing is by conventional cyanide heap leaching, which produces a pregnant leach solution (PLS) containing 1–2 ppm of gold, together with 1000 ppm or more ...

How copper dump leaching works

If copper recovery depends on (1/d p) and the copper leaching rate depends on (1/d p) 2, leaching of ROM ore in dumps should be impossible, or at least so slow and marginal as to not be profitable.And yet dump leaching of copper secondary sulphides is practiced widely, with good recoveries and at rates rapid enough to be measurable (Yáñez et al., 2007, Bustos et al., …
