ABSTRACT:
Metal values, particularly precious metal values, are recovered from fines on a footwall and in the fissures and cracks therein by passing a solution capable of solubilizing the metal values across the footwall. The metal values are preferably adsorbed on to a suitable support such as activated carbon underground and then the support, having the metal values adsorbed thereon, transported to the surface for further processing.
