Abrégé
Provided is a method of pretreating gold ore that allows easily recovering gold and a gold recovery method in which a recovery proportion of gold is high even when the gold ore contains sulfide or a carbonaceous component. The pretreatment method includes a biological oxidation step of bringing the gold ore containing the sulfide into contact with iron oxidizing bacteria and holding them for a predetermined time. The gold recovery method includes: a pretreatment step of pretreating the gold ore by the pretreatment method; a leaching step of leaching the gold from the gold ore to obtain a leaching solution; an adsorption step of adsorbing gold in the leaching solution to activated carbon; and an eluting step of eluting the gold from the activated carbon to obtain a gold solution. Since the sulfide confining the gold particles is oxidatively decomposed by an action of the iron oxidizing bacteria, the gold particles are liberated, thus facilitating the recovery of the gold. As a result, the recovery proportion of the gold can be high.
