Flotation is also the best method for recovery of gold from base metal ores and gold-containing PGM ores. Excluding gravity preconcentration, flotation remains the most cost-effective bene ficiation method. Gold itself is a rare metal and the average grades for low-grade deposits vary between 3 and 6 ppm.

The total-oxidation process is particularly advantageous for copper–gold ores. Gold can be recovered by direct cyanidation of the washed autoclave solids. Silver, if present, will likely be fixed at least partly as silver jarosite in the autoclave solids. To improve silver recovery, a lime boil is recommended (2 h at 95°C with an excess of CaO).
