For heap leaching, the mined ore is subjected to size reduction by crushing before stacking on impermeable under liner fitted pads. If the ore is very permeable, little or no crushing may be required, Lixiviant contact with the mineral particles needs to be ensured through efficient percolation. Percolation rate should be slow enough to facilitate necessary contact periods between the ore

And the leaching time can also increase if the heap leach pad becomes too compacted. The cyanide must come in contact with the gold particles and sometimes it penetrates very slowly. The low percolating of the heap can lead to the creation of channels, where the solution generally tends to accumulate and miss much of the ore.
