The heap leaching process has been widely used for recovering different metals since its first application at the end of the 1960s. In Chile, copper production via heap leaching has accounted for between 30 and 40% of annual copper production over the past 10 years. This level of production has been achieved through and supported by …

Dump leaching was popularly used for the extraction of copper sulfide ores (Brierley 2008). 13.4.3 Heap Leaching. Heap bioleaching is a speedily rising method for the extraction of base metals from sulfide minerals. Bioheaps are a big amount of low-grade ores and effluents from extraction strategies that include trace quantities of minerals.
