Metal > Gold > Gold Process CompaniesThis processes 4 million tons of ore per year with an average gold content of 0.043 ounces of gold per ton of ore. Approximately 85% of the gold is recovered in the plant. The crushed ore is fed to tanks of cyanide solution, where the gold is dissolved in the cyanide. The pregnant solution is then transferred to a series of tanks, where carbon is added. The gold is adsorbed onto the surface of the carbon. The carbon, with gold attached, is removed by screening. The gold bearing carbon is then introduced into a heated sodium hydroxide-cyanide-water solution where the gold is dissovled. This concentrated solution is passed through a series of electrowinning cells, where the gold quickly plates (in about 3 minutes) onto the stainless steel cathodes. The gold is washed from the cathodes, with high pressure sprays, dried and melted, to be poured into molds for gold bricks, or ingots.
