What is Vat leaching?

Copper Leaching: To extract copper from oxide ores, vat leaching is frequently used. For ores with complicated mineralogy and low copper values, the technique works especially well. High copper recovery, low operating costs, and the capacity to handle huge amounts of ore are some benefits of vat leaching of copper ores.

Resources Energy Group Ltd

In the near term, REZ is expected to commence a vat leach trial campaign treating 5,000 tonnes of ore from Maranoa grading 4.6g/t Au. This trial program is projected to yield 821 ounces of gold worth A$2.7M in revenue at a conservative A$3,250/oz gold price.

Austral Resources

With current copper prices at about $14,541 per tonne, Austral Resources (ASX:AR1) sees an opportunity to re-mine the legacy heap leach pads to recover acid-soluble copper remaining in the ore at its Mt Kelly asset.

Submerged Vat Leaching VS Trickle Leaching

Vat Leaching. Now, let us consider a representative submerged vat leaching system. Hundreds of thousands of tons of copper are produced each year by this method from oxide and mixed oxide-sulfide ores using sulfuric acid leach solutions. A typical submerged vat leaching plant is described as follows:
