• Heap leaching of gold ore started to gain promenence in the late 1960's when it was applied on a large scale to low grade ores that were uneconomic to procees by conventional tank leach methods. • The first use of cyanide for leaching of gold and silver ores was in England in 1887 by J.S. MacArthur.

those of the heap leach pad (45Mt) in the 2014 Preliminary Economic Assessment (2014 PEA). The approach of combining the two lined facilities saves both space and capital, benefiting the community as well as the project. Golder has now begun work to optimize the design to a full Feasibility …
agitation leaching tests done on Mimbula to assess its amenability to these copper recovery routes (Phalwane, 2013). From the studies it was concluded that it is feasible to extract copper from Mimbula using these methods but at remarkably high costs. There have not been heap leach feasibility tests done on Mimbula ore.
