Heap leaching for silver is conducted using the same principles and operating practices as for gold, but heap leach operations produce only a small fraction of world silver production. INTRODUCTION Heap leaching had become a fairly sophisticated practice at least 500 years ago. Georgius
Read More2020-4-17 Dump leaching has mostly been applied to gold, silver, and copper ores, whereas heap leaching has been applied to many different minerals including copper, gold, silver, ura-nium, vanadium, zinc, nickel, and cobalt. However, as the principal applications are copper and precious metals, most of the following discussion will refer to these metals.

Read More2021-3-24 It is now planning for run-of-mine production of 45,000-55,000 oz of gold and 400,000-450,000 oz of silver in 2021 using conventional cyanide heap leach. It is anticipated that mining in the first four months of 2021 will be performed using the existing Hycroft fleet and a rental fleet, moving approximately 1.5 Mt/mth of ore and waste.

In heap leaching, the oxygen, essential for the dissolution of gold, is intro- duced into the cyanide solution as it is being sprinkled upon the ore heap.
Read MoreHeap leaching has emerged as the safest and most efficient ways to mine the lower grade gold that was uneconomical in the past. It is a flexible and continuously evolving extraction technology which gained popularity in the 1980’s when gold prices rocketed from $35 to $800.

This method was first employed to extract copper at the Bluebird mine in the US in the early 1960s, and then by several gold mines in the western parts of the US a few years later. Since then, heap leaching has been adopted successfully by many mines across the world.
