The final gold product of Tau Lekoa mine has a low fineness. This is caused by high concentration of bases metals in the reefs. Some of these base metals together with gold are leached with cyanide and are loaded into carbon. If not adequately controlled, they may elute with gold and contaminate the final product in the electrowinning process.

The gold-loaded carbon is then stripped to remove gold into an alkaline cyanide solution via two 20 m3 pressurized vessels at 400 kPa and 140 °C. The produced eluate enters 12 electrowinning cells, where electricity is passed through the cells, causing gold to deposit onto stainless steel wool cathodes.
