The gold contained in the ore occurs at an average of. 17 opt (ounces per ton of ore). The gold is within the sulfide mineral matrix, which is not exposed (and therefore can not be dissolved by) a cyanide leach solution. Also the ore contains carbonaceous matter which absorbs gold in the conventional leaching process.
