Sodium Chloride and Iron sulphate solution leaching out gold from Ore.

[minero74]

I was Reading old books about leaching gold from Ore.
I found out a writing about a weak leaching solution made of a very weak solution of
Sodium Chloride and Iron Sulphate.

in that experiment almost all the gold was dissolved in the solution.

maybe that can be the answer of how gold nuggets grow so much in rivers and others places that nature water runs sometimes .

perhaps members of the forum that like to testing new leaching solution can replicate the same solution and see if it work.

I’m attaching a picture is the writing.

Strange as then the Gold should precipitate directly after being dissolved.
Unless the NaCl and Copperas forms some other compound able the solubilize the Gold

I’m very curious to find out what kind of compound
NaCl and iron sulfate made to dissolve gold .

Is very interesting to see how that leach will work .
