The traditional cyanidation process was chosen and is currently in widespread use. However, the mining sector is looking for lixiviants other than cyanide. Cyanide\u2019s effects on the environment have made it difficult for humans and other biotic creatures to survive. There is now research to discover a substitute for this cyanide. It is currently argued that thiosulfate is a preferable substitute for cyanide. The effectiveness of thiosulfate as a leaching agent in carbonaceous gold-bearing ores in Ethiopia is discussed in this paper compared to cyanide. The study has looked into the advantages of employing thiosulfate over cyanide from a technical, and economic standpoint. The leaching effects of both lixiviants on carbonaceous gold-bearing ores extracted from MIDROC Legadembi Open Pit mine in Southern Ethiopia, Oromia region, were examined in a laboratory experiment. After 48\u00a0h of leaching, it was discovered that thiosulfate has a better and quicker recovery of 91.54% over 61.70% of cyanide recovery. Tables and graphs are used to demonstrate thiosulfate\u2019s technical advantage over cyanide. As a result, this paper provides evidence regarding the Legadembi gold mine in Ethiopia\u2019s amenability to thiosulfate leaching on carbonaceous gold-bearing ores. A further research perspective is also sought for thiosulfate leaching in other refractory ores.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598-024-69646-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,3]],"date-time":"2024-10-03T02:03:02Z","timestamp":1727920982000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Thiosulfate leaching in carbonaceous gold-bearing ores in Ethiopia"],"prefix":"10.1038","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Kaleb Jia","family":"Chaka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Steven M.","family":"Rupprecht","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,3]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3\u20134","key":"69646_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"193","DOI":"10.1080\/08827509508914125","volume":"14","author":"GT Sparrow","year":"1995","unstructured":"Sparrow, G.
