As we learnt in 

Leaching -

In this process we use suitable agent  which react with ore to form water soluble complex while impurities are insoluble 

- wherein

Ag2S +NaCN \overset{O2}{\rightarrow} Na [Ag (CN)2] 

Na [Ag (CN)2] + Zn{\rightarrow} Na2 [Zn(CN)4] +Ag {\downarrow}

 

 Ag forms a water soluble complex with cyanide while the impurities are insoluble .

Ag_2S + 4NaCN\rightarrow 2Na\left [ Ag(CN)_2 \right ] +Na_2S
