Text by Don Gaunt
In 1989 would open the last gold extraction plant at Rodalquilar. It used the latest technology which was the method of leaching in piles (I.T.G.E., 1991). It permitted the treatment of large quantities of ore at low cost due to the small amount of crushing and milling required. The capacity of the installation was 200,000 tonnes per annum. It was designed and constructed by the Dutch firm CYMET. Production was estimated at 280kg of gold per annum. For the precipitation of the gold they used for the first time in Spain, columns of active carbon, followed by chemical refining then smelting. This was an improved and successful method of extraction, however, a fall in the price of gold forced the closure of operations in 1990.
