SSN Leach vs.
We mixed a little more leach than we did ore, with the leach (in a 5 gal bucket) being about 3 inches above the ore. But it absorbed it so completely, that it's hard to get much of it to drain, or to run it through a filter. Of the 2 gal of leach we mixed, so far we've only been able to filter off about 2/3 of a gal, if that.

Leaching Gold from Finely Crushed Ore (Sand Leach)
When the cyanide process was first introduced its application was confined to leaching, that is, treatment by percolation. By this method only such material could be worked as was sufficiently granular in texture to allow the necessary amount of solution to percolate through it in a reasonable time. By crushing the ore dry, it is ...

This is actually lower than the gold extraction with cyanide-free glycine leaching (90%). These findings, together with the low price, high re-cyclability and non-toxicity of glycine, suggest that glycine leaching can be considered as a viable cyanide-free method for recovery of gold from mildly refractory gold ores.
