A process is provided for heap leaching ore to recover nickel. The process is particularly effective for ores that have a tangible clay component (i.e., greater than about 10% by weight). The process includes sizing the ore (where necessary), forming pellets by contacting ore with a lixiviant and agglomerating. The pellets are formed into a heap and leached with sulfuric acid to extract the ...

The valuable minerals are irrigated with a chemical solution that dissolves the valuable metal of the ore, as the resulting pregnant leaching solution (PLS) passes through the ore, and is recuperated at the base of the heap. The valuable material is then extracted from the PLS, and the chemical solution is recycled back into the heap.
