Carbonaceous gold ores can have the carbon adsorb the gold onto its surface, and as a result will not be recovered from the pregnant solution. Leaching gold from sulfide ores is difficult, at best. Generally, the recovery for cyanide leaching of sulfide or refractory ores is no better than 30 , which is not a worthwhile venture.

pregnant leach solution PLS. The PLS flows to a collection reservoir, and then to a solvent extraction plant where it is mixed with a diluent designed to extract the copper. The leach solution minus its copper, called raffinate, is replenished and returned to the leach pile for reuse, completing the solution stream cycle.
