Gold cyanidation (also known as the cyanide process or the MacArthur-Forrest process) is a hydrometallurgical technique for extracting gold from low-grade ore by converting the gold to a water-soluble coordination complex.It is the most commonly used leaching process for gold extraction. Cyanidation is also widely used in the extraction of silver, usually after froth flotation.

REE (Tm, Lu) are nearly 200 times more common than gold (Haxel et al., 2002). However, in contrast to ordinary base and precious metals, REE have very little tendency to become concentrated in exploitable ore deposits. Consequently, most of the world's supply of REE comes from only a handful of sources.

Sulfuric acid is used to leach uranium from certain ore types, often together with an oxidant such as ferric iron. Such leaching occurs either in situ, in heaps or in agitated tanks.After uranium recovery from solution (typically by solvent extraction) the residual, acidic solution bleed requires neutralization and treatment to remove the dissolved metals.

As a result of such decomposition, particles of bright lustrous gold, angular and ragged in shape, but of considerable size, often become apparent. These particles may be separated from the oxides of iron by washing, and the use of nitric acid, followed by panning, is frequently resorted to in order to detect gold in pyrites.

For example, gold does not dissolve in either nitric acid (an oxidizing agent) or hydrochloric acid (a complexing ligand), but dissolves quite easily in a mixture of the two, aqua regia. Whether they are solid, in solution, or in the gaseous state, gold compounds are invariably bound covalently, and by far the majority are complexes. *
