In response to this growing demand, technologies in processing have arisen to make the reclamation of gold more successful than ever. One such advancement, is the use of agglomeration drums in the heap leaching process. The process of heap leaching extracts gold from ore by piling up crushed ore and applying a leaching agent to permeate through the pile, separating the gold from the ore

A feasibility study on the production of gold at a fictitious mine (Moapa mine) in Elko County, Nevada is to be performed. The mine is capable of producing 325,800 tons of high-grade ore per year for 8 years. The deposit contains 0.12 ounces of gold per ton of high-grade ore and can be acquired at a cost of $10 per ton of ore (cost of mining ore

Yet mining the ore is just one stage in a long and complex gold mining process. Long before any gold can be extracted, significant exploration and development needs to take place, both to determine, as accurately as possible, the size of the deposit as well as how to extract and process the ore efficiently, safely and responsibly. On average, it takes between 10-20 years before a gold mine is even ready to

The world's gold production has changed over the past 30 years. The exploration and discovery of large, free-milling gold deposits in major mining districts has declined. Mining companies face a difficult decision. Do they process large, low-grade deposits or look for smaller, often more complex ones in remote, often hard-to-reach locations?
