Geometallurgical Approach for Implications of Ore …
Gold production in South Africa is projected to continue its decline in future, and prospects for discovery of new high-grade deposits are limited. Many of the mining companies have resorted to mining and processing low-grade and complex gold ores. Such ores are technically challenging to process, which results in low recovery rates, excessive reagent …

Gold cyanidation
Cyanide leaching. Cyanide leaching was first applied to extract gold from pyritic ore, which prior to the discovery of gold cyanidation could not be extracted. This led to heavy investment in mining in the 1890s and the opening of larger gold mines. Leaching gold with cyanide is still a widely used hydrometallurgical process in today's mining ...

Spotlight on heap leaching
on heap leaching by R.A. SNODGRASS* Heap leaching is a topic that is gradually generating more interest in South Africa as more non-Witwatersrand gold deposits are being investigated. This was evident from the number of delegates (85) who supported the SAl MM School on Heap Leaching, which was held at Mintek from 29th February to 3rd March, 1988.

The shift to sodium cyanide. Sodium cyanide is more efficient in processing lower-grade gold ore than mercury is. According to Joshua Boiwo, geology officer for Migori county in south-western Kenya, 'Using mercury can get between 25% and 50%, maximum 60% of gold, but with cyanide, you get 95% or even of gold from ore.' 3 This means that piled 'tailing' from …
