Abstract
In this article, we investigate the possibility of reprocessing gold bearing gold
dumps for gold as a sustainable way of reviving the mining sector in Zimbabwe. Heap or vat
leaching is a process that has been extensively used for the recovery of valuable metals like
copper, gold (Au) and silver. The ore is prepared for vat leaching by either crushing or milling
it into fine and deslimed material. It is then placed into a container (vat), which has a partial
filter floor. Cyanide solution can then be injected either through the filter section of the floor
or added to the top of the ore charge.
