Abstract

See full text

A method of extracting precious metal values from a starting material using thiosulphate as a lixiviant. The precious metal values can be recovered from solution using a reductant. The reductant may be a naturally occurring ore including as a component pyrite, chalcopyrite, marcasite and/or pyrrhotite, or can be ferrous sulphate. Sodium hydrosulphide can be added as a scavenging precipitant after the reductant to regenerate thiosulphate. The thiosulphate can be recycled to leach additional precious metal values.
