New approaches for extracting and recovering …
Mine tailings may contain base transition metals, such as iron, copper, nickel and zinc, in relatively high concentrations, and also occasionally precious metals such as gold and silver, in minerals (and native metals) that have been not been separated by froth flotation (e.g. Bryan et al., 2006, Ahmadi et al., 2015).
Recovering Cyanide From Gold Plant Tailings
this solution (after gold and/or silver recovery) back to the top of the heap. It is not so simple in a milling operation, but some of the residual free cyanide can be recovered by thickening the mill slurry prior to leaching, and again thickening the leach plant tailings prior to discharge.

Gold tailings: Xinhai usually use all-slime cyanide process and carbon-in-pulp process to recover the gold from gold tailings. As for the gold tailings cyaniding, xinhai will apply the method of dry-tailing stacking. That is, though the process of classifying and dewatering, at the same recycling the water recourses to remove the cyanide in it.
It Started With An Idea | New Gold Recovery
Present day placer mining uses pans, water and gravity, just like the prospector of 1849, only on a larger scale. This “modern” placer technology only recovers up to 40% of the gold from every ton of ore concentrate (finely ground ore) as it primarily targets nuggets and flakes of gold. The remaining 60% goes untouched.

DRD Gold, one of the first South African companies to abandon traditional mining to focus on extracting gold from tailings. New technology allows it to recover up to 40% of the gold left in particle form in tailings. DRD Gold extracted 33,600 ounces of gold, worth nearly US$40 million, in the last quarter of 2013. Mintails, a mine tailings processor, has developed new technology to process 350,000 tons of …
Re-Processing Gold Tailings in South Africa
historic gold tailings dams in the Witwatersrand area of South Africa is being investigated. The objective is to recover uranium and residual gold from the tailings, as well as to oxidize the sulphides to eliminate long term environmental liabilities associated with acid mine drainage. The tailings from the re-processing plant will be re-

Research at the Porgera Gold Mine is focusing on developing a method of combining tailings products with coarse waste rock and waste muds to create a product that can be stored on the surface in generic-looking waste dumps or stockpiles. This would allow the current use of rivering disposal to cease. Considerable work remains to be done. However, co-disposal has been successfully implemented by …
