The invention discloses a recovery process of complex multi-metal ores difficult to treat and belongs to the technical field of ore dressing. According to the process, the complex multi-metal ores difficult to treat are taken as the raw materials, products such as gold, silver, copper, zinc, sulfur, lead concentrate and iron slag are extracted by virtue of the steps of ore fine grinding, high-temperature oxidative pressure leaching, copper and zinc recovery by extraction, gold and silver recovery by virtue of thiourea leaching, and lead, iron and sulfur separation by ore separation, and comprehensive recovery of the multi-metal gold ores is realized. The recovery process of the complex multi-metal ores difficult to treat is mainly characterized in that the high-temperature oxidative pressure leaching is performed on the complex multi-metal ores difficult to treat after fine grinding, copper and zinc in the leachate are recovered by use of an extraction-electrodeposition technique, and the extraction residual liquid is returned to oxidative pressure leaching, gold and silver are extracted from the oxidative pressure leaching slag by use of a thiourea leaching-reduction process, and sulfur, lead concentrate and iron slag are obtained from the thiourea leaching slag by use of an ore separation process, respectively. The recovery process is used for comprehensively recovering gold, silver, copper, zinc and the like, has the characteristics of high valuable metal recovery rate, low energy consumption, low cost, closed-loop solution circulation and the like, and is suitable for industrial production.
