Vat Leaching :The ore meant to be leached is loaded into vats that are typically made of concrete. When leaching has been completed, the residual solids are dugout of the vat and replaced by a fresh batch of ore.[4] 10 Process Stages Suitable for porous and sandy materials [4] commonly used to extract gold and silver from ore [11]
