Heap leaching is an industrial mining process used to extract precious metals, copper, uranium, and other compounds from oreusing a series of chemical reactions that absorb specific minerals and re-separate them after their division from other earth materials. Similar to in situ mining, heap leach mining differs in that it places ore on a liner, then adds the chemicals via drip systems to the ore, whereas in situ mining lacks these liners and pulls pregnant solution up to obtain the minerals. Heap leaching is widely used i…
Heap leaching can take anything from a couple of months to several years. In the case of gold recovery, heap leaching generally requires 60 to 90 days to leach the ore, compared to the 24 hours required by a conventional agitated leach process. Gold recovery is also usually only 70% compared with 90% recovery in an agitated leach plant.

The Mulatos mine is a conventional open-pit, heap-leach operation with gold recovered through a carbon-in-column circuit. Ore is sourced from a number of open pits within the Mulatos District providing stable low-cost gold production. These include the main Mulatos and Cerro Pelon open pits as well as existing stockpiles.

The cyanide then enters the heap and leaches the gold. Gold loves cyanide. Once the leach solution dissolves the gold, it continues percolating through the lower lifts until it reaches the liner located underneath the heap. Then it drains into a storage pond. Most economical heap leach mines achieve 70-80% recovery of gold and 30-50% of silver.

Typically gold mines consist of either a heap leach (HL) operation or a CIL type plant. There are a few projects that operate (or are considering) concurrent heap leach and CIL operations. Ultimately the mineral resource distribution determines if it makes economic sense to have both. This blog discusses this concept based on past experience.
