Heap Leaching of Gold and Silver Ores ScienceDirect
#0183;#32;The oxide zone of massive sulfide ore deposits may contain gold and silver in iron oxides. Typically these are very soft and permeable, so crushing below 75 mm often does not increase heap leach recovery. The Filon Sur ore body at Tharsis, Spain, and the Hassai Mine, Sudan, are successful examples of heap leaches on this type of ore.
