ABSTRACT:
A method for leaching gold and/or silver out or other precious metal containing substance using cyanide-containing leaching solutions and adding an aqueous H.sub.2 O.sub.2 solution to accelerate leaching. The total amount of the hydrogen-peroxide solution required for leaching is fed into the leaching slurry at the beginning of leaching. The amount of the H.sub.2 O.sub.2 solution is determined in that the H.sub.2 O.sub.2 is added in a 0.6 to 2.5-fold stoichiometric ratio to the cyanide concentration of the leaching slurry. The pH value of the leaching slurry is set and maintained at between 7 and 10 or between 11 and 13.
