Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0512247A2] In the so-called cyanidation-in-mill technique, the ores, ore concentrates and gangue material, which are to be leached, from previous incomplete leachings are treated with a cyanide-containing leaching solution already in the mill, gold and silver being leached out at least partially. As compared with the previously known cyanidation-in-mill technique in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, the gold yield can be substantially increased if the leaching is carried out in the presence of a peroxoborate compound. The peroxoborate can be present in a solid and/or dissolved form. Preferably 10 to 60 equivalents of peroxoborate are used per tonne of the material to be leached.
