The present invention improves the leaching speed of gold while also inhibiting the generation of sulfur dioxide in a method for leaching gold from gold ore containing pyrite without using highly poisonous chemicals such as cyanogen, thiourea, thiosulfuric acid, and halogen gas. A method for leaching gold involving: pre-treatment steps which include a step (1) for preparing a gold ore containing pyrite and a step (2) for heating the gold ore to 450°C or higher in a non-oxidizing atmosphere and for pyrolyzing the pyrite within the gold ore into iron sulfide (II) and elemental sulfur, and which does not include an oxidation roasting step; and a step (3) for leaching the gold component within the ore by bringing the gold ore that was subjected to the pre-treatment steps into contact with a gold leaching solution containing chloride ions, bromide ions, and iron ions while an oxidizing agent is supplied. |
