Copper-bearing rock is then conveyed to the heap leach pad, which leaches the ore in two stages. In the first stage, the ore is leached using intermediate leached solution (ILS). In the second stage, the ore is leached further using raffinate. Copper is extracted from the leached solution through electrowinning and solvent extraction methods.
