    • Dump leaching, an industrial process to extract metals from ore taken directly from the mine and stacked on the leach pad without crushing
    • Heap leaching, an industrial process to extract metals from ore which has been crushed into small chunks
    • Tank leaching, a hydrometallurgical method of extracting valuable material from ore
    • In-situ leaching, a process of recovering minerals such as copper and uranium through boreholes drilled into the deposit
  • Leaching (pedology), the loss of mineral and organic solutes due to percolation from soil
