Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for the recovery of precious metal values, such as gold and silver, from refractory carbonaceous, or carbonaceous-sulfidic ore material. The ore material is inoculated using a specific microbial consortium and then incubated to deactivate the carbonaceous component of the material to prevent binding of the precious metal values to the carbonaceous component. The precious metal is then recovered.
