System and method for parallel solultion extraction of one or more metal values from metal-bearing materials

A metal value recovery system comprising:

• a primary metal value recovery system;
• a secondary metal value recovery system;
• and
• a solution extraction system comprising:
• a first solution extraction circuit coupled to the primary metal value recovery system and to the secondary metal value recovery system, and
• a second solution extraction circuit coupled to the primary metal value recovery system.

A system for extracting metal value comprising:

• a solution extraction system comprising a first circuit and a second circuit,
• wherein the first circuit is configured to receive a first metal bearing solution and to produce a first rich electrolyte;
• wherein the second circuit is configured to receive the first metal bearing solution and to produce a second rich electrolyte;
• and
• wherein the first circuit is configured to receive a second metal bearing solution and to produce a low-grade raffinate;
• a primary electrowinning circuit configured to extract a primary metal value from the first rich electrolyte and the second rich electrolyte;
• and
• a secondary metal value recovery system configured to extract a secondary metal value from the low-grade raffinate.
