1. A method of recovering metals from a coal liquefaction residue containing a spent catalyst comprising: (a) deoiling and drying the coal liquefaction residue to form an ash feed;(b) reducing the particle size of the ash feed;(c) mixing the ash feed in a weak acid solution to form a first slurry containing at least alkaline earth metal compounds;(d) separating the at least alkaline earth metal compounds from the first slurry to form a first filtrate and a metals bearing material;(e) pressure leaching metals from the metals bearing material in the presence of ammonia and air to form a pressure leach slurry containing transition metals;(f) precipitating and recovering transition metals from the pressure leach slurry. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein step (b) comprises comminution of the ash feed to a particle size distribution wherein at least 70% of the metal bearing materials passes 200-mesh. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein a coal liquefaction residue comprises inorganic material, ash and a spent catalyst. 4. The method of claim 3 wherein the spent catalyst comprises one or more transition metals selected from the group consisting of Group VIB metals and sulfides thereof. 5. The method of claim 4 wherein the spent catalyst comprises molybdenum. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein the ash feed contains about 0.1% to 10% molybdenum by weight. 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the acid solution of step (c) is a weak acid solution selected from the group consisting of weak solutions of sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and phosphoric acid. 8.
