ACG eyes higher gold recoveries at Gediktepe mine with proprietary heap leaching process

ACG Metals has been featured in International Mining, a leading global publication covering mining operations and technology.

The article details our sustained improvement in gold recovery at the Gediktepe Mine in Türkiye, achieved through a proprietary enhancement to the heap leach recovery process — developed internally by our technical team, with patent protection secured in Türkiye and progressing in 35 other countries. Under commercial operating conditions, the process has delivered gold recoveries of c.85%, up from c.75%, alongside a c.45% reduction in cyanide consumption and faster leach cycle times.

The piece also highlights the broader significance of the milestone: as ACG advances towards sulphide processing and copper production, these results demonstrate the team’s ability to deliver practical metallurgical optimisation ahead of the sulphide ramp-up.
