The cases presented below involve often complex processes, often combining mineralurgy and hydrometallurgy; the gold is usually combined and invisible (not accessible), and extensive grinding is often necessary.
The two French cases, currently under arrest, are :
the Salsigne mine, which uses direct cyanidation of flotation concentrates;
and the Rouez mine, which has developed both heap cyanidation and stirred-tank cyanidation on raw ore.

The São Bento mine in Brazil uses a highly complex...
