The mining industry in the early Middle Ages was mainly focused on the extraction of copper and iron. Other precious metals were also used mainly for gilding or coinage. Initially, many metals were obtained through open-pit mining, and ore was primarily extracted from shallow depths, rather than though the digging of deep mine shafts.

Moreover, precious metals are generally found in their natural form (elemental), which further complicates the situation. 12. Therefore, leaching of precious metals is carried out after the base metals have been stripped, enhancing the selectivity while reducing contamination. Sheng and Etsell 68 employed a multi-step approach to recover Au and Cu.
The process from sintering or smelting to refining of finished product entirely happens in high temperature.
