Jun 10, 2020 · Recovery rates become so low that projects cease to be viable, even if there is a lot of gold in the ground. For Velardeña, specifically, gold recovery without BIOX was on the order of 5 to 7 percent. With BIOX, this increases to over 90 percent. What BIOX does is to use bacteria to oxidize the sulphide mineral – essentially dissolving it ...

The continuous testwork indied that 90% gold recovery can be achieved after only 80% sulfide oxidation. A licence agreement was concluded between MLPSA and Gencor in 1995 for the use of the BIOX® technology at the Tamboraque plant. As part of the agreement, Gencor carried out the process design of the biooxidation plant.

More gold is recovered by cyanidation than by any other process. In cyanidation, metallic gold is oxidised and dissolved in an alkaline cyanide solution. When gold dissolution is complete, the goldbearing solution is separated from the solids. With ores of higher gold content (greater than 20 grams of gold per tonne of ore), cyanidation is ...
