Abstract 1. THE METHOD OF TREATING SEDIMENTARY GOLD-BEARING ORE CONTAINING INDIGENOUS ORGANIC CARBONACEOUS MATERIAL SO AS TO INCREASE THE RECOVERABILITY OF ITS GOLD CONTENT BY STANDARD CYANIDATION EXTRACTION WHICH COMPRISES SLURRYING DTHE ORE WITH WATER IN THE ABSENCE OF EXTRANEOUS ALKALINE MATERIAL, ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE SLURRY TO ABOUT 70* TO 85*F., AND DISPERSING CHLORINE GAS THROUGHOUT THE SLURRY AT A RATE AND FOR A PERIOD OF TIME SUCH AS THE SLURRY WILL CONTINUE TO ABSORB THE CHLORINE WITH EVOLUTION OF CARBON DIOXIDE, NITROGEN AND OXYGEN AS THE CHLORINE REACTS WITH THE ORGANIC CARBONACEOUS COMPONENTS OF THE ORE AND ONLY UNTIL A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CHLORINE GAS IS LIBERATED FROM THE CHLORINATD SLURRY, AND MAINTAINING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE THUS-CHLORINATED SLURRY, AND MAINTAING THE RANGE OF ABOUT 70* TO 85*F. FOR A PERIOD OF ABOUT 6 TO 12 HOURS WITH THE RESULTING PRODUCTION OF A SLURRY-SOLIDS CONTENT IN WHICH THE GOLD COMPONENT IS AMENABLE TO AT LEAST 75 WT. PERCENT EXTRACTION BY STANDARD CYANIDATION PRATICE.
