(c) The ore being placed on the heap has an average copper grade of 1.0% and the lixiviant addition rate is 900 m3 /hr. 5% of the liquid is lost through evaporation and other loses and the pregnant solution contains an average of 2.1 kg Cu/m³. The solvent extraction stage recovers 90% of this copper, with the barren solution having additional acid and water added to make up for the lost volume and consumed material before being added back onto the heap. What is the average recovery of the copper from the heap leaching assuming no losses in the SX/EW?
