For copper and other metal sulfide minerals, the heap leach process has evolved to incorporate bacteria and nutri-ents into the barren solution promoting the bio-oxidation of sulfides. Aeration of the heap is often required in these cases. Similar applications to heap leaching include in situ leach - ing, rubble leaching, and vat leaching.

processes using dilute sulphuric acid. The first process, vat leaching of high-grade copper oxide ore followed by EW of copper from the leach solution, produced low quality copper cathode at relatively high cost. In 1968 the tonnage of high-grade oxide ores was decreasing and vat leaching was on the decline.

Heap leaching is the most important method of hydrometallurgical copper extraction. Heap leaching is used for treating oxide and lower-grade secondary sulfide ores that contain up to ∼2% Cu. The ore is crushed to a uniform particle size (typically 12–50 mm), often agglomerated, and then stacked on large flat-topped heaps in a controlled manner.. …
