ABSTRACT The Musselwhite Mine in Canada processes a free milling gold ore at 5.5 5.8g/t Au and 4.2 pyrrhotite. A laboratory investigation was conducted to improve cyanidation. The pyrrhotite was determined to be 50 monoclinic and 50 hexagonal. A leach using 8ppm dissolved oxygen yielded only 82.3 gold extraction with a 0.29kg/t NaCN consumed.
For extracting gold from low grade ores, heap leaching is practiced. The huge heaps described above are sprayed with a dilute solution of sodium cyanide, and this percolates down through the piled ore, dissolving the gold. Immense amounts of solution and solids are associated with a vat leaching circuit, owing to the very low concentrations of gold in the ores. In order to eliminate

As a general principle, Fe 3+ ions are used to oxidize the ore. This step is entirely independent of microbes. The role of the bacteria is the further oxidation of the ore, but also the regeneration of the chemical oxidant Fe 3+ from Fe 2+. For example, bacteria catalyse the breakdown of the mineral pyrite FeS 2 by oxidising the sulfur and metal in this case ferrous iron, Fe 2+ using
