Average weighted LOM copper recovery is 91.9%. Gold recovery was fixed at 47%. Silver recovery was fixed at 49%. Monty The underground is based on an operating 1.6 Mtpa process plant producing a 24.5% copper concentrate that contains gold and silver. Mill feed is sourced from DeGrussa and Monty with Monty supplying approximately 0.4 Mtpa.
Mining produces ores with less than 1 percent copper. Concentration is accomplished at the mine sites by crushing, grinding, and flotation purification, resulting in ore with 15 to 35 percent copper. A continuous process called floatation, which uses water, various flotation chemicals, and compressed air, separates the ore into fractions.
Copper (or metal) recovery percentages of the flotation circuits of a copper mine/mill are extremely important. For example, it is estimated that for a plant processing 50,000 tonnes of ore containing 1% copper per day, increasing the copper recovery from 86 to 87% of that contained in the ore could increase revenues by approximately $4 million ...
RAVENSTHORPE COPPER GOLD PROJECT . CAPITAL AND OPERATING COST ESTIMATE . 1. INTRODUCTION ACH Minerals (ACHM) requested that GR Engineering Services Limited (GRES) provide a capital cost and operating cost estimate for a 500,000t/year conventional CIL plant and a 250,000 t/year sulphide flotation plant.
The only additional equipment was the flotation cells. They reported an 8% increase in recovery due to finer grind, 15% increase in tons per day treated, and a 3% reduction in cost. Flotation in a gold concentrator should be considered not only when building a new plant based on results of a thorough ore test but also in an existing plant when:
It produces copper concentrate (containing gold and silver) and molybdenum concentrate through milling and flotation. In 2014, 391.3kt copper, 66.5koz gold and 7,900t molybdenum were produced at a ...

Copper Sulfide Flotation Circuit. Beneficiation of Copper Sulfide by Flotation. Copper, due to the present world demand and price, is of foremost interest to the mining industry.Many new properties are either in the process of being brought into production or are being given consideration.
The Company has extracted approximately 2.24 million pounds of copper from mineralized copper material with an average copper grade of 1.80% (since Q1 2018) generating revenue of US$4,309,000 to date. Cost reductions and grade control at Farellon have generated seven consecutive quarters of positive cash flow.
Mined sulphide ore is milled to reduce its size before passing to flotation cells where it is upgraded to a concentrate containing some 25-35% copper. This concentrate is then shipped to a smelter operated by a third party and converted to copper metal.
As a result, the copper and gold net smelter returns for copper concentrate sold to Smelter A are equal to $511 and $515 per tonne of concentrate, or $48.01 and $48.37 per tonne of ore. When these numbers are divided by the mill feed grade, the copper and gold NSR factors are equal to $20.69 per % Cu and $18.97 per gram of gold.
Although basic porphyry copper flotation and metallurgy has remained virtually the same for many years, the processing equipment as well as design of the mills has continually been improved to increase production while reducing operating and maintenance costs. Also, considerable attention is paid to automatic sensing devices and automatic controls in order to …
Higher head grades and recoveries, a reduction in run-of-mine material reporting to the milling and flotation circuit, a smaller tailings management facility, and lower power and water demand are just some of the benefits to have come out of ore sorting test work at Kutcho Copper's copper-zinc project in British Columbia, Canada.

This chapter briefly describes the technology for producing copper, from exploration, through mining and milling, to smelting and refining or
Additionally, it is anticipated that potential savings in capital costs related to the smaller milling and flotation circuit would partially offset the …
The cyclone overflow from the mill circuit is treated in a flotation circuit that produces a copper–gold concentrate for export. Rougher and scavenger flotation concentrates are reground and cleaned to achieve an acceptable final concentrate grade. The concentrate is thickened and filtered before being trucked to port.
produced by flotation (International Copper Study Group, 2012). In 2011, about 60 percent of primary copper produced in the United States originated from flotation (Daniel E. Edelstein, Copper Commodity Specialist, U.S. Geological Survey, written commun., March 20, 2012).

Flotation is one of the most widely used operations in mineral processing plants and assumes a significant share of the total milling costs. The purpose of this paper is …
Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore (less than 1% copper) and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper called cathodes, which will ultimately be made into products for everyday use.The most common types of ore, copper oxide and copper sulfide, undergo two different processes, hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy, respectively, …

It produces copper concentrate (containing gold and silver) and molybdenum concentrate through milling and flotation. In 2014, 391.3kt copper, 66.5koz gold and 7,900t molybdenum were produced at a C1 copper cash cost of USD1.18/lb. Copper and molybdenum production has been declining in recent years due to lower grades and harder ore, however, a ...

However, recovery of copper was about 4 percent lower for the high copper slag (sample C) and 23 percent lower for the low copper slag (sample A). Flotation tailings from the quenched slags ranged from 0.53 to 0.66 percent; slow-cooled slags gave tailings containing from only 0.26 to 0.39 percent copper with lowest analyses for 30-minute grinds.
The cost data above referred to has been compiled from actual operating results and shows the cost of milling both for the old 50-ton plant and the new 100 ton concentrator, as is now in use. Note the reduction in milling costs through the use of the new flowsheet which includes an 8-cell "Sub-A" Flotation Machine.
Total LOM operating unit costs are estimated to be $7.60 per tonne milled, which includes mining cost per tonne milled of $3.70, milling cost per tonne milled of $3.63 and G&A per tonne milled of $0.26 . Mining cost per tonne mined is estimated to be $1.55.
On average, it has been estimated that the cost of lime in sulphide minerals flotation is approximately double the cost of collectors (Fee and Klimpel, 1986), although it can vary significantly from operation to operation. Variation in the slurry pH and pulp potential in both the milling and the flotation circuit may result in altered flotation ...
