The total-oxidation process is particularly advantageous for copper–gold ores. Gold can be recovered by direct cyanidation of the washed autoclave solids. Silver, if present, will likely be fixed at least partly as silver jarosite in the autoclave solids. To improve silver recovery, a lime boil is recommended (2 h at 95°C with an excess of CaO).

Copper Oxide Ore

The flotation of oxide ores, in which sulphidisation precedes flotation, is sometimes used as an alternative to leaching, but generally produces low recoveries (Kongolo et al., 2003; Tijsseling et al., 2019). Indeed, flotation recoveries for oxide ores are around 60% for the copper and around 45% for the cobalt (Fisher and Treadgold, 2009).
