Economic costs of heap leaching
For example, if an ore contains 40 grams/ton of gold-equivalents, and heap leaching recovers 80% of this material, then you will need to process c30 tons of ore to recover 1 kg of gold-equivalents (or 30,000 kg per kg). Thus heap leaching alone can generate 50kg of CO2e per kg of gold. Precious metals and Rare Earth are among the most CO2 ...
