Dear All

We run CIL plant , at this time we have large amount of fine carbon collected with grade 100-150 g/t, with current high gold price we are thinking a way to get the gold.

Is there any proved method to recover gold from fine carbon.

Regards,

Jorge

This material can be sold commercially. Payable rates may be around 75% of analytical gold. It depends on the location of the material as to where it might end up for gold recovery. Generally, you need to ensure the material does not degrade by being left open to the elements etc.
