So was wondering if any one could recommend any good books or reading on Cyanide methods with gold or polymetallic ores? Have read C.W. Ammen and searched this forum abit, im fairly comfortable with garage/bootleg inorganic chemistry and the motions and saftey of working with dangerous chemicals but am not a chemist by trade so please nothing super deep, technical/doctorate level. Also correct me if I am wrong but in using a cyanide based leach you are pretty much looking at electrowinning, zinc, or carbon/ash/AR as the three main recovery methods correct?

If you haven't done so already, do searches for any terms related to cyanide along with authors goldsilverpro and/or deano. goldsilverpro has probably cyanide leached more ewaste than anyone else on the forum, and deano has probably cyanide leached more ore than anyone else on the forum. Between the two of them, you'll have the equivalent of one of the best books ever written on the subject.

Ya iv seen some of their posts, can tell they know their stuff. Actually should have made this posts headline to include reading material on all leaches. Unfortunately seems like alot of info is scattered around here or there but not one solid book like leaching 101 lol. Kinda interested in all aspects of leaching because some leaches will work better on one type of ore or some don't work at all on certain types of ore or conditions, but a guy ends up spending hours and hours on Internet trying to scrape together bits of knowledge, wisdom, and tricks here and there.
