A systematic review of gold extraction: Fundamentals, …
Various co-intensifying systems can be adopted when dealing with different types of gold ores to enhance the leaching process and economize cyanide consumption. Copper is reactive to complex with CN-, which leads to excessive cyanide consumption and higher cost, especially when dealing with copper-gold ores (Osseo-Asare et al., 1984).

Leaching Low-Grade Gold Ores | SpringerLink
Abstract. A dilute cyanide solution is an efficient solvent of gold. However, as in any other leaching process, the solvent has to come in contact with the solid gold particle. Hence, extensive crushing and meticulous two-stage, closed-circuit grinding are needed to liberate the gold particles in the ore. Multistage agitation leaching followed ...

Gold Extraction & Recovery Processes
The process is characterized for its economic cost against the agitated leaching process when the ore deposit has a low gold content. Typically the process can process ores whose gold content is 0.8-1.1 g/t. The leaching solution is spread at the top of the pile and the pregnant solution will have to percolate through the pile.
