Abstract: A pressure leaching system for use in a leaching operation including: at least one reaction zone for receiving a slurry of material to be leached from a slurry source, the reaction zone being disposed relative to the slurry source such that slurry is resident in the reaction zone under gravity thereby providing at least part of the pressurisation required for the leaching operation.
