RE:Gold Recovery
RE:Gold RecoveryBREAKtheCOMEX, Yes these tailings can be reprocessed. Some specialized equipment is needed, but it can be done but is usually only tried after a mine has shut down and no more ore is being mined or produced. The reason for this is that after a certain amount of gold and or silver has been recovered from those tailings the new ore being produced usually has more gold/silver in it than the tailings since some PMs has already been extracted from those tailings. Generally speaking it is more advantageous for a producer to work current ore rather than the tailings. I hope I made this understandable.
