The association of gold and antimony in many ores provides additional complications in the gold extraction process. Improvements in mineralogical identification and understanding of the chemistry of the cyanidation process with antimony present are leading to improved treatment processes for antimonial gold ores.
Nitric Acid Pretreatment Applied to a Refractory Gold-Tellurides Ore
However, the treatment of so-called refractory gold ores using cyanidation is problematic and new solutions are needed due to the constant depletion of easy-to-treat gold ores [1, 3]. A refractory gold ore is defined as an ore with low gold recovery (less than 80%) when treated by conventional cyanidation.
Processing of High-Silver Gold Ores
The most convenient processing alternative for high-silver gold ores and concentrates is largely dependent on the quantity and mineralogy of the silver phases present. As far as leaching is concerned, pretreatment of the ore or modification of the …

Flowsheet Development of A Refractory Gold Ore To …
contained the gold, could not be chemically changed. Testwork was undertaken to develop a flowsheet that would maximise gold recovery from an ore containing 3 g/t Au and high levels of arsenic. Treatment of the sulphide ore involves gravity separation, flotation, and cyanide leaching.
Silver Metal Extraction from Refractory Silver Ore Using …
The mobility of gold and silver metals from refractory ores is very low due to free metal ions in their bodies that bind the transportable and free metal molecules or they are encapsulated in ...
Gold Extraction from Refractory Sulfide Gold …
The eect of bio-oxidation and neutral atmospheric oxidation pre-treatment of refractory gold concentrates on gold and silver extraction during cyanidation was investigated. A series of pre-treatment experiments was conducted on three high sulfur (>9%) refractory concentrates with 0.92–1.25 g/t gold and 64–90 g/t silver.
From ore to dore: Four main processes in gold production
Today, Outotec can offer processes and equipment that cover the full gold value stream from ore to dore. This includes all three main oxidative processes for the treatment of refractory gold concentrates – BIOX, pressure oxidation, and roasting – as well as the equipment for ultra-fine grinding as a fourth, non-oxidative treatment option.
Evaluating Process Options for Treating Some Refractory Ores
A significant contemporary challenge for gold mining companies is to define economic process options for treating more complex ore bodies as the less refractory ores become depleted. Demonstration of economic treatment options allows gold companies
