A heap leaching test was carried out for the low-grade copper-cobalt oxide ores from Congo (DRC), and effects of spray intensity, spray acidity and ore particle size on the leaching rates of copper and cobalt were investigated. The results show that both acidity and intensity of spray bring significant impact to the speed and cumulative rates of copper and cobalt leaching, while the ore particle size has little effect on leaching process. And finally, the optimal conditions for heap leaching of low-grade copper-cobalt ore were determined, including spray acidity at 20 g/L, spray intensity of 15 L/(m2·h), and ore particle size of less than 40 mm. It is shown that the cumulative leaching rates of copper and cobalt can reach 90.89% and 82.27%, respectively, after 100 days of heap leaching.
