WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENTOF Natural Resources

heap-leach technology has developed significantly over the past 15 years. Use of cyanide heap leaching has steadily increased due to its low cost for recovering gold and silver. Northern Nevada was the site of the first small-scale commercial cyanide heap-leach operation by the Carlin Gold Mining Company in the late 1960s (Hiskey, 1985).

Heap Leaching - Mining Fundamentals

Heap Leaching - Mining Fundamentals. Heap leaching is an industrial mining process of separating precious metals, copper, and other minerals, from ores. It involves a series of chemical processes, through which the mineral ores are piled into the form of a heap, and a leach solution is spread over the ore surface to leach metal from the heap.
