Today, heap leaching technology plays an important role in the processing of ore from deposits with a low gold content and technogenic waste. Significant results are achieved in Uzbekistan through the use of this technology.
This is confirmed by the activity of “Gold heap leaching unit” mine of Central mining administration. The enterprise carries out the process from crushing gold-bearing ore to the production of gold-silver Dore alloy. The main task of the enterprise is crushing and stacking off-balance ore of the Muruntau mine with a low gold grade using a four-stage crushing method, as well as heap leaching of gold by chemical means. In other words, this is the extraction of gold by processing ore with a relatively low gold content, which is unprofitable using direct sorption technology.
There was published conversation with chief technologist of “Gold heap leaching unit” mine of Central mining administration of “NMMC” JSC Rustam Egamov at the issue of the newspaper "Konchilar hayoti" (№10, May 27, 2022).
