Zusammenfassung:The present paper briefly describes the methods of gold ore processing and the associated problems are grouped into mineralogical, chemical and physical. The processing of low grade gold ores by heap leaching is an important technological development. But a major drawback in heap leaching process is low recovery of the precious metals. The problems that generally lead to a low gold recovery and the possible solutions are discussed.
