Before leaching the gold, ore must be crushed and grinded into small particles, usually particle size varies between 30 and 180 μm. Free milling ores are ready for leaching after crushing and grinding whereas refractory ores need pretreatment. It is important to pretreat a refractory ore before leaching to achieve better gold extraction.

elements in a combination known as refractory gold ore. Refractory gold ore is a mineral complex containing very small gold particles held in a combination with sulfur, arsenic, organic carbon and/or other compounds. These refractory ores require pre-treatment in order for the common cyanide leach process to be effective in recovery of the gold.

More ore bodies have been found where the gold is not amenable to simple cyanidation alone. In the simplest of terms, these are refractory ores. The best choice of a processing route to treat a refractory ore will in most cases be site specific, due mainly to the metallurgical and mineralogical characteristics of the ore.

MINERALOGY OF GOLD ORES The manner of gold occurrence and its association with the gangue miner- als dictate whether or not the ore can be processed by the cyanide heap-leach method.
