The study focused on the use of three surfactants (Dextrin, naphthalene sulphonate and triton X-100) as blanking agents to minimise or eliminate the preg-robbing challenges posed by carbonaceous materials in gold ores during gold cyanidation. Chemical analysis of ore sample used for the study showed that the gold (Au) content was 17.2 g/t.

A Pretreatment of Refractory Gold Ores Containing Sulfide
The use of thiosulfate to extract gold from refractory ores is promising because of its non-toxicity and high selectivity. Sulfide minerals (i.e., pyrite, arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite), major gold carriers in refractory gold ores, however, hinder gold extraction due to the high consumption of a lixiviant. In this study, a new method to improve gold extraction from sulfide bearing gold …
