The Method for the Characterization of Carlin Trend Gold Ores

Article Preview

Abstract:

Carlin Trend gold ores are often refractory by conventional cyanid, for a number reasons:1) the gold is locked up within host sulfide minerals such as pyrite or arsenopyrite; 2) the ore contains carbonaceous compounds which are preg-robbing; 3) the gold is locked up in silicate minerals. An alternative technique called diagnostic leaching, originally developed by the Anglo American Research Laboratories in South Africa, has been used successfully to distinguish between a wide variety of different gold associations, including the proportion of preg-robbing gold in carbonaceous gold ores.
