Need a Rock Gold Leaching Plant? See This Zimbabwe Project
If you own a hard rock gold mine, you face one big question: how do you get the most gold out of your ore at the lowest cost? For most rock gold and oxide gold ore, the answer is a well-built rock gold leaching plant. In this guide we show you how the process works, share a real Zimbabwe project, and give you the true machine data so you can plan your own plant.

How to Process Rock Gold Ore the Right Way
Many new mine owners ask the same thing: how to process rock gold ore so the gold is not lost? Rock gold is locked inside hard stone. You cannot just wash it like river sand. You must break the rock, grind it fine, and then leach the gold out with a safe chemical process.
The basic flow has four steps:
- Crushing: big rocks are broken down into small pieces.
- Grinding: a ball mill grinds the ore into fine powder so the gold can be reached.
- Leaching: the gold is dissolved and pulled out of the powder (CIP or CIL method).
- Recovery: the gold is collected and refined into a final product.
For oxide gold ore — the kind found in many open gold veins — leaching works very well. The gold is easy to reach, so recovery can be very high.
Real Project: Rock Gold Leaching Plant in Zimbabwe
Here is a live case. The raw gold ore comes from Odzi, Manicaland, in Zimbabwe. From the site photos, you can clearly see it is an oxide gold vein. For this kind of ore, using a gold leaching plant is no problem at all — it is the right choice.
The customer is still testing the gold content of his ore, which is a smart first step. While he checks the grade, we already gave him a clear quote for a 25 TPH ball mill and a 1000 TPD gold leaching plant. He is now reviewing the plan. This is how we work — we move fast so you do not waste time waiting.
If you have a gold mine in Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Ghana, or any other country, your project can start the same way: test your ore, send us the report, and we design a plant that fits your exact ore and budget.
25 TPH Ball Mill — Technical Parameters
The ball mill grinds your ore so the gold can be freed. Below are the real parameters of the 25 TPH ball mill we quoted for this Zimbabwe project. You can check the data and compare it with your own needs.
1000 TPD Gold CIL Plant for Sale — Built for Big Output
For mine owners and investors who want real volume, our 1000 TPD gold leaching plant is built to handle large daily tonnage with a stable, high recovery rate. This is the same type of gold CIL plant for sale that we have already built and run on past projects.
What you get with this plant:
- Gold recovery rate of 95% or more on suitable ore.
- Full automatic operation, so you need fewer skilled workers.
- Zero discharge of tailings water — good for the environment and for local rules.
- Stable, low-cost running, day after day.
Why Buy Your Gold Plant From Dasen — Full EPC Service
Dasen Mining Machinery has been working on gold ore processing machines for more than 30 years. We have built many gold ore projects overseas, and our plants are now running in more than 30 countries.
The big reason mine owners choose us is our full EPC / turn-key service. This means we do not just sell you a machine and leave. We handle the whole job from start to finish:
- Ore analysis and beneficiation testing
- Process design made for your exact ore
- Equipment manufacturing in our own factory
- Building, installation, and commissioning on your site
- Operation support and after-sales technical help
Our beneficiation technology is backed by China’s top Northwest Nonferrous Geological Research Institute and nearly 30 expert teams. So you get good equipment plus world-class technical service — both in one package.
FAQ — Rock Gold Leaching Plant
How do I know if my ore is good for a gold leaching plant?
Oxide gold ore and most rock gold ore work very well with leaching. The best way to be sure is to send us your ore test report. If you do not have one yet, we can guide you on how to test your gold content first.
What size gold leaching plant do I need?
It depends on your ore grade, your daily tonnage target, and your budget. Plants can range from small container units up to a 1000 TPD gold leaching plant or larger. Tell us your capacity goal and we will match the right size.
How much does a gold CIL plant cost?
The price changes with capacity, ore type, and site conditions. The fastest way to get a real number is to send us your raw ore type, capacity, and location. We will send you a clear, no-pressure quote.
Do you build gold plants in Zimbabwe and other African countries?
Yes. We have a gold leaching plant project in Zimbabwe and many more across Africa and the world. Our EPC team can ship, build, and start up your plant on your own mine site.
How long does it take to build the plant?
Time depends on the plant size and design. Once we agree on the plan, we move fast on manufacturing and shipping. Contact us with your details and we will give you a clear schedule.
