Sampling a Conveyor Belt
To sample a FINE free-falling stream (Sampling a Conveyor Belt with a cross-belt cutter) as depicted, a sampling cup shall be used with the minimum dimensions as given in figure below. In addition, the length of the cup should be at least three times the width of the falling stream to be sampled and the edges of the opening must
Laboratory Methods of Sample Preparation
Sample preparation method and Laboratory sampling procedures involve either: Coning and Quartering; or Riffling Method. Coning and Quartering for sample preparation techniques/method The method which is used for sampling large quantities of material say 20kg, consists of pouring or forming the material into a conical heap upon a solid surface (e.g. a steel plate) and relying on radial symmetry to give four
Bond Work Index Procedure and Method
This Grindability Test or Bond Ball Mill Work Index Procedure is used to determine the Bond Work Index of minus six mesh or finer feed ore samples. These equation application methods are used to process <1/2″ ore samples in a Ball Mill using a standard ball charge. Below describes in general terms the Bond Work Index Procedure used by a Professional

SEDEX Sedimentary Exhalative Ore Deposits
Another submarine syngeneic sulphide deposits- the SEDimentary exhalative or SEDEX deposit. These are very familiar in genesis to the VMS deposits except they are not primarily driven by intrusions below but are instead products of dewatering and metamorphism of thick piles of accumulated sediments in ocean basins hence the “SED” part of the name, the “exhalative” portion of the name refers to the geological process of

Epithermal Gold Deposits Exploration
Many of the techniques are similar to those, have described for other deposit types. We need to start by focusing our efforts in areas where there is evidence of major felsic to intermediate volcanism, as it’s this volcanism that drives the epithermal systems. We also needed to find an area that has not been too deeply eroded or else any
High Sulphidation Epithermal Gold Deposits
High Sulphidation Epithermal Gold Deposits form in geothermal systems where hot acidic hydrothermal fluid directly from the intrusion, remains undiluted by ground water. Low sulfidation deposits on the other hand from a geothermal system in which the magmatic fluid is cooled and diluted by groundwater and the pH is neutralized at depth. The formation of epithermal deposits is all about
Porphyry Beer
Porphyry deposits and Beer having something in common. Porphyry ore deposit form in large intrusions that acted as magma chambers feeding active volcanoes. You will remember that as the magma chamber cools from the outside inwards, barium, feldspar and quartz crystalize out so that the remaining melts becomes enriched in metals and volatiles. The volatiles migrate to the top of
Epithermal Gold Deposits Characteristics
A fascinating group and characteristic of Epithermal gold deposits is that you can virtually see them forming today, simply by visiting hot springs. Like those with Yellowstone in Wyoming or Rotorua in New Zealand. This photo is Pamukkale, low sulfidation hot springs in Turkey, with a beautiful white centre terraces. If you like hot springs, you’ll love epithermal. Let’s start
Infographic: Lunar Gold Rush: How Moon Mining Could Work
Across history, human development has relied upon the finite resources available on Earth. But the moon – a seemingly barren rock – may actually be a treasure trove of rare resources vital to Earth’s future. And now, nations are looking upwards to a potential lunar gold rush… Why mine the moon? Geological surveys show that the moon contains 3

Is Gravity Gold Free Gold
Being able to recover gold using a gravity method or process does not mean that gold is free and fully/completely liberated. For example, using Automated Digital Imaging System (ADIS) for Gold Search (ADIS is an optical screening and imaging equipment package customized to locate gold occurrences in ground sample), a sub-sample of 8 samples representing 8 lithology for an orebody deposit was subjected to
Iron in Cyanidation -Ferrocyanide Compounds
Practically all ores treated by the cyanidation process contain iron minerals. In addition, the equipment in cyanidation plants with which cyanide solutions come in contact is made largely of iron and steel. Fortunately, cyanide solutions have very little action on metallic iron and most iron minerals, otherwise the cyanidation process would be impractical for die treatment of precious metal ores.
Copper – Lead Separation by Lead Depression
Another method to separate Pb from Cu is in depressing the lead away from the copper to float. Here, three batch cleaner tests were performed with additional depressants to reject more lead from the copper flotation concentrate. The baseline test utilized no MBS depression in the rougher circuit to maximize copper recovery, but MBS depression in the copper cleaner circuit (Test 18). Nokes reagent
