Gold CIL & CIP Gold Leaching Process Explained CCD
Carbon-in leach (CIL) is a simultaneous leach and absorption process. The simultaneous leach and absorption phases of the CIL process were developed for processing gold ores that contain preg-robbing materials such as natural absorptive carbon. These reduce the gold yield by attracting gold meant for the activated carbon.

of gold process operating costs. As an illustration, for a gold ore grading 2.3 g/t, a 1% increase in gold recovery generates incremental revenue of about $1/t-ore at a gold price of $1,300/ oz. For cyanide at a price of $3,600/t delivered to a remote mine site, it takes only 0.28 kg/t-ore consumption to equate to $1/t-ore, or 1% gold recovery.
