A procedure to extract silver from sulfide ores with FeCl3 was patented by Hey in 1922. Considerable work was completed by Wong to recover lead from a galena concentrate with a combined FeCl3-NaCl leach solution. Because both lead and silver were solubilized, silver recovery from high-silver ore would be difficult.

As can be seen, the Au recovery is strongly affected by the leaching time. It can be seen that the leaching time has the most influence on gold leaching. In addition, the recovery of gold reduces with increasing pH in the range investigated. It is obvious that the high gold recovery is achieved at the highest leaching time and the lowest pH value.
