“…The concept of sustainable development of mining enterprises involves the development of technologies aimed at low-waste development of solid mineral deposits [1,2] and the maximumextraction of metals from poor off-balance ores [3][4][5], taking into account the required environmental standards [6,7]. In practice, various technologies have been tested for extracting noble metals from ores [8][9][10], including heap leaching (HL), which is a promising and relatively cheap technology for processing poor and off-balance ores containing gold, silver and other useful components [11]. The effective extraction of useful components in this technology depends on the conditions of solution percolation through the ore stack [12,13].…”
