As ore reserves of easily recoverable gold deplete, opportunities to treat and recover gold hosted in neighbouring sulphide deposits and tailings can extend the life of mining operations. Through real world examples, this paper reviews common challenges to be identified and overcome through dedicated testing programs that Glencore Technology lead for a client, environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria that inform testing and design, and the impact of these factors prior to project implementation.
