In this article, we investigate the possibility of reprocessing gold bearing gold dumps for gold as a sustainable way of reviving the mining sector in Zimbabwe. Heap or vat leaching is a process that has been extensively used for the recovery of valuable metals like copper, gold (Au) and silver. The ore is prepared for vat leaching by either crushing or milling it into fine and deslimed material.

Dump Leaching Ore Preparation. Although waste rock from either underground or open pit mines is of too low a grade to warrant conventional milling, some gold or silver may be recovered by leaching it. If dumps are leached without additional ore preparation or transporting the rock to prepared pads, the operation is termed a dump leach.

NaOH pre-leaching of ultrafine milled ... for gold recovery can be complex and is dependent on the mineralogy of the dump, which is in turn related to the original orebody ...
Dump leaching began at Teller in late-1988 at a rate of 4 MTPA and has been progressively expanded to the present rate of 10 MTPA. Teller's on-going commitment to dump leaching is driven by the amenability of gold ores to the process and the availability of large tonnages of low grade gold ore. The sequence of evaluating ores for dump leaching involves rolling bottle tests …
Heap Leaching and Dump Leaching Heap leaching means leaching ores that have been mined, crushed, and transported on impervious pads for leaching by sprinkling or ponding, and percolation of the solution through the stack of the ore (Figure 6-3). Dump leaching means leaching dumps or accumulations of very low-grade ore or

Most mining companies have embarked on projects to recover gold from dump sites due to high mining costs and low liquidity prevailing in the economy. Share This: May 29, 2014
Leach chemistry factors and issues th at must be considered for successful heap leaching of gold and copper are provided in the chapters on gold, silver, and copper hydrometallurgy elsewhere in this handbook. Other metals of interest in heap or dump leaching include uranium, nickel, cobalt, zinc, and recently, some rare earth elements.

Gold remains one of the key minerals in Zimbabwe's mining industry, accounting for some 47% of the mineral exports as of 2016 (See Figure 1)(Pact & The Institute for Sustainability Africa, 2017). Figure 1. Mineral share in Zimbabwe's total minerals output value, 2016 (Pact &the Institute for Sustainability Africa, 2017).
The dumps considered in the study were divided into six dump types, namely: gold-mine dumps, base-metal mine dumps (dumps associated with the mining of nickel, zinc, copper and lead), minor-metals mine dumps (dumps associated with mining of antimony, arsenic, and selenium), platinum-group metal mine dumps, chromite and asbestos mine dumps, and ...

Counter-current leaching. leaching efficiency can be enhanced by the application of Le Chatelier's principle. In summary, the lower the concentration of gold in solution, the greater the driving force for gold dissolution to occur, although in a mass transport controlled reaction it is debatable what role this plays in gold leaching.
