Heap leaching is the most important method of hydrometallurgical copper extraction. Heap leaching is used for treating oxide and lower-grade secondary sulfide ores that contain up to ∼2% Cu. The ore is crushed to a uniform particle size (typically 12–50 mm), often agglomerated, and then stacked on large flat-topped heaps in a controlled manner.. …

Heap leaching is an industrial mining process of separating precious metals, copper, and other minerals, from ores. It involves a series of chemical processes, through which the mineral ores are piled into the form of a heap, and a leach solution is spread over the ore surface to leach metal from the heap.

Heap Leach. A leach pad is defined as a continuously lined area which may contain one or more 'heaps'. Heaps are stacked on prepared pads to a height from 4 to 8 metres. The nominal heap height for Lady Annie Operations is 6 metres. Each heap is approximately 60 to 70 metres wide and may contain between 200,000 and 300,000 tonnes of ore.
