This process of leaching is done in leaching tanks or by heap leaching where sodium cyanide is dripped onto a heap of gold ore and left to percolate its way through the heap of gold ore. The dissolved gold in the form of the complex now needs to be separated out and recovered. This can be done by a process called absorption.
