Recovering the Un-Recoverable – Nanogold™ – Refractory Entrapped Gold
Geologists often face significant challenges when it comes to the recovery of gold from refractory ores. These ores, which contain gold particles locked within sulphide minerals or organic carbon, typically yield lower recovery rates using traditional methods like cyanidation. While existing technologies such as roasting, bio leaching, and pressure oxidation have improved recovery rates to…
