More2020-3-27 The gold heap-leaching field has little requirement in terrain conditions, and can be adapted to local conditions. According to the topographical features, permanent unloading yards or superimposed yards are respectively set up. For example, the top of the mountain and the hillside are slower and wider, thus suitable for a permanent unloading yard.
More2012-12-20 The Heap-Leach Process Briefly stated, gold heap leaching is a hydrometallurgical process designed to treat amenable low-grade gold ores that contain roughly 0.5 gram per metric ton (g/t) gold to 1.5 g/t gold (Marsden and House, 2006; Wong Wai Leong and Mujumdar, 2010). The ore is stacked by various types of equipment

More2021-5-19 Cyanide leaching of gold is a very common methodology for evaluation of low grade gold ores. Despite risks associated with cyanide, the method proved to be highly effective provided that necessary precautions are taken. Gold cyanidation in field scale is mainly conducted through heap leaching and tank leaching methods.
