Gold dissolution by ammoniacal thiosulfate solutions is an alternative process that can handle complicated refractory ores [1]. It is important to mention that thiosulfate ion by itself cannot dissolve gold as fast as cyanide does so; aqueous ammonia and cupric ions in form of copper sulfate must be added to catalyze gold dissolution [1-3].

A process for extracting gold from a gold-bearing ore. The process includes, first, providing a leaching liquor with thiosulfate anion and ethylenediamine. Next, the leaching liquor is contacted with the gold-bearing ore to form a pregnant leach solution including gold dissolved from the gold-bearing ore. Finally, at least part of the gold in the pregnant leach solution is recovered.
