Hydrological Evaluation of Gold Leach Pad Rinsing
Heap leaching is a conventional method of extracting precious metals from low- to medium-grade oxide ores. Processing typically consists of placing run-of-mine (ROM) or crushed ore on a geomembrane lined pad and applying an alkaline cyanide solution to the surface of the heap through a drip emitter or sprinkler type irrigation system.

In 2011, the Heap Leaching process represented approximately 15% of the total world gold production (Adams, 2016). The Silver–Gold Heap Leaching process (SGHL) involves stacking the mineral into a heap and irrigating it with a dilute alkaline cyanide aqueous solution that percolates to dissolve the metals of interest (Manning and Kappes, 2016).
