3. Yep, when moisture and oxygen are plentiful, "acid mine drainage" forms easily from the aerobic oxidation of iron pyrite to iron (II) sulfate. Iron (II) sulfate is highly water soluble, at least in acid. It is further oxidized by air to insoluble iron (III) oxides and hydroxides, but the abiotic reaction is slow at low pH.Web

The addition of lead nitrate results in a higher gold extraction, although cyanide consumption cannot be reduced below 1.85 kg/t without a drop in the extraction. Without lead nitrate, the gold recovery is lower than 90% but with lead nitrate, it reaches 98%. The addition of oxygen increases the gold recovery by 1.5%.Web

The introduction of lead nitrate resulted in a 2.28% increase in extraction. Studies have shown that the addition of lead nitrate can be beneficial to gold leaching kinetics. Lead passivates the surface of reactive sulphides and forms insoluble lead sulphide, thus effectively preventing the solution from contacting the sulphides.Web
