In the case of Goldstrike, this was a double-refractory ore combining sulphide-occluded gold with preg-robbing carbonaceous material that rendered the ore unsuitable for conventional cyanide leaching .
Double refractory gold ores, such as Barrick's Goldstrike ore, contain both pyrite and carbonaceous matter and the latter results in the loss of gold from solution during cyanide leaching. One possible remedy is to roast the ore and thus oxidize the pyrite and remove the organic carbon.

double refractory ore has been achieved at Nordgold's Suzdal mine in Kazakhstan which treats double refractory ore with both visible and invisible gold hosted in sulphide associations of pyrite and .
The initial results for the cyanide leach gold recoveries were very poor on a high-grade primary sulphide ore of 6.2 g/t Au with no silver. Subsequent mineralogy showed the ore to be a characteristic pyrite, carbonaceous refractory gold ore (double refractory.
of refractory and double refractory gold ores. Commonly, in these types of ores, the gold is associated with sulphide minerals. The presence of sulphides can affect gold recovery via cyanidation due to encapsulation or passivation of the gold, thereby increasing reagent consumption. In the case of double refractory ores, gold .

A "refractory" gold ore is an ore that has ultra fine gold particles disseminated throughout its gold occluded minerals. These ores are naturally resistant to recovery by standard cyanidation and carbon adsorption processes. These refractory ores require pre-treatment in order for cyanidation to be effective in recovery of the gold.

The initial results for the cyanide leach gold recoveries were very poor on a high-grade primary sulphide ore of 6.2 g/t Au with no silver. Subsequent mineralogy showed the ore to be a characteristic pyrite, carbonaceous refractory gold ore (double refractory). This was a very disappointing finding.

Ores where gold is associated with sulfides and with high carbonaceous matter content are considered double refractory. Ores in the Carlin Trend District are characterized by the presence of submicroscopic gold (invisible gold.
Double refractory ores present a unique challenge to the traditional method of gold recovery in mining. Double refractory ores are ores that contain sulfides and carbons, as opposed to single refractory ores which contain only sulfides. In general, the cyanide solution pulls the gold out of the ore .

Double refractory gold ores (DRGO) contain metal sulfides that encapsulate gold and prevent its dissolution by cyanide, and carbonaceous matter (CM) that adsorbs gold cyanide complex. Pretreatment is therefore required to decompose the sulfides and liberate gold before cyanidation, and to deactivate CM and prevent it from adsorbing gold .

To complicate matters further, these ore bodies are often refractory, where the gold is locked within sulphide minerals; or double refractory, in which gold is locked within sulphide minerals and preg-robbing due to the presence of organic carbon. These must be pretreated ahead of leaching.

Highly refractory gold mineralisation – including double refractory ores, i.e. gold associated with both sulphide and carbonaceous mineralogy. Low to middle-tier resources that target a gold production of less than 150,000 oz per annum.
Refractory gold ores are those that do not yield high gold recoveries in conventional cyanide-leaching circuits, even when the ore is finely ground. The cause of low gold recoveries can be either through the presence of naturally occurring 'preg robbing' carbonaceous materials or gold physically 'locked' in sulphide minerals. ...
Sulfides and carbonaceous matter in double refractory gold ore (DRGO) were bio-treated sequentially using an iron-oxidizing archaeon Acidianus brierleyi followed by lignin peroxidase-dominating crude enzymes released from the white-rot fungus Phanerochaete chrysosporium to significantly improve gold .
