ENRICHING
Enriching lower grade concentrate via:
- Carbon-in-pulp (CIP) is the sequential leach then absorption of gold from ore. During the CIP stage, pulp flows through several agitated tanks where sodium cyanide and oxygen have been added to dissolve gold into solution. In the absorption stage, this solution flows through several agitated tanks containing activated carbon. Gold absorbs onto the activated carbon, which flows countercurrent to the pulp, while screens separate the barren pulp from the gold-loaded carbon.
- Carbon-in leach (CIL) is a simultaneous leach and absorption process. The simultaneous leach and absorption phases of the CIL process were developed for processing gold ores that contain preg-robbing materials such as natural absorptive carbon. These reduce the gold yield by attracting gold meant for activated carbon. Simultaneous leaching and absorption help minimize the problem.
REFINING
The purification of precious metals through chemical, electrochemical, and pyrometallurgical processes is known as refining. Zion Precious Metals selects the best method for your metal based on its initial purity.
We recover precious metals from a wide range of metal-bearing materials, such as jewelry and bullions from secondary market, d’ore from mining companies, industrial scraps and solutions.

ASSAYING
In order to determine the purity and composition of your lot, it will be melted and sampled. Our highly qualified laboratory staff masters range of the methods, including fire, spectrometric, ICP, X-Ray and chemical assays.
TRADING
For thousands of years, gold has been used as a medium of exchange and a store of value, and trading gold is just as relevant in the twenty-first century as it has ever been.
