· tion process. Gold, for instance, is commonly extracted through a technique called "heap leaching." The ore con-taining the gold is crushed, piled into heaps, and sprayed with cyanide, which trickles down through the ore, bond-ing with the gold. The resulting gold-cyanide solution is collected at the base of the heap and pumped to a mill,
