Heap leaching is a process that extracts valuable metals from ores by dissolving the metals in a solvent. The valuable metals can then be recovered from the solution by a variety of methods. Heap Leaching is an ancient process; leaching metals out of ore goes back nearly 500 years.

In heap leaching, refined ore is poured in heaps onto a plastic covering. Sprinklers then spray a chemicalleaching solution over the heap surface area and desired minerals are dissolved and collected. These minerals include gold, copper, nickel and uranium. Some ores are collected over one or two months while others can take up to two years.
