85 The physiography of the area is dominated by glaciated landforms carved in gneiss of the Fiordland Complex. The gneiss is generally dioritic, with gradations to quartzo-feldspathic and amphibolitic varieties, and is cut by mainly barren pegmatite veins; epidote is abundant. The rocks commonly show signs of post-consolidational shearing and crushing. There is a well defined zone of strongly c...

As for geology, Zlatý Chlum is a highly varied locality with frequent metaquarzit, amphibolite, quartz as well deposits of sulphideores. This work deals the use Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans to bioleach polymetallic ores (Cu, al, Zn, and Fe) fromthis locality. Leaching lasted 5 weeks in bioreactor that ensured optimal conditions bioleaching. The results imply theexperiments were successful, le...
