Mineral Titles Online MTO BC
Using this summary page you can locate Geological Maps from the MTO Online service in British Columbia to acquire Mineral Titles, Mining Claims. Mineral Title means a claim or lease acquired and maintained under the Mineral Tenure Act and its predecessor Acts (the Mineral Act and the Placer Mining Act) and these are by far the […]
Blast Hole Liner
Designed to provide quick, hassle free lining of blast holes on the go. Blast Hole Liners are securely packaged in convenient size packs which can be easily transported on site. Dispensing of liners down blast holes takes place speedily and effectively. Durable polyethylene material is abrasion resistant and watertight. Unique packaging method allows for efficient […]
Floating Gold Wash Plant
Figure 125, A and B shows typical arrangements using floating gold washing and gold-saving plants (“boats”). Figure 125, C, is a plan of an operation where the gravel is first dug by a power shovel and is then picked up by a dredge equipped with a light bucket line. Where floating plants can be employed, […]
Hydraulicking
Hydraulicking: In hydraulic mining a stream of water under high head is employed to break down the bank and excavate the gravel and to sweep it to the sluices. Additional running water (termed “bank” or “by-wash” water) usually is required to wash it to and through the sluices. The gold is recovered in part from cleaning […]
Solvent Extraction of Iron
The process to be presented makes use of a commercial mixture of highly-branched monocarboxylic acids with the trade name of “Versatic 10” (Shell). The formula may be presented as: where the total number of carbon atoms in the molecule is about 10. In short the Versatic acid will be termed RH. The organic acid RH […]
Sulfide Oxidation
The first leaching step is the release of trace metals from the mineral phase due to sulfide oxidation. Sulfate was the ultimate reaction product in both the laboratory and the field, a result of the pH and oxidizing conditions which prevailed, and the relatively long reaction time. The rate of sulfide oxidation observed in batch […]
Biaxial Compression Tests
Purpose In the past several model studies of the behavior under load of both randomly (4) and regularly jointed rock masses have been published. The studies of regularly jointed masses involved block models composed of a large number of blocks of equal shape, such as square, hexagonal and parallelepipedal, both with continuous and discontinuous joints. […]
Belt Conveyors
Belt conveyors are the most commonly used means for building stockpiles. The usual types are the fixed stacker, radial stacker, traveling stacker, shuttle conveyor and tripper conveyor. Fixed Stacker The fixed stacker is an inclined belt conveyor that is normally cantilevered at the head end in order to avoid having conveyor supports in the stockpile […]
Recover Silver by Gravity Concentration
In some cases, silver will recover very well by gravity. In laboratory testing, two kilograms of plant feed was ground to 80µm F80 and passed through a Falcon concentrator. The Falcon concentrate was panned to upgrade the concentrate and reduce the mass recovery to what is typically achieved by plant operations. A flowsheet and summary […]
SAG Mill Availability Targets
Keeping a SAG mill running well and “all the time” does not come easily nor does it come equally to everyone. “OK” = 90% Good = 92% Great = 94% Exceptional 95% Only one operation, located in Chile, is known to be at 95%. ** Thanks to Alex at SAGmilling.com for this intel.
