Copper Cyanide Recovery in Cyanidation Of Copper Containing Gold Ores
Small Gold Leaching Circuit Design
The gold cyanide leaching mill site is centrally located with respect to the mine, water supply and improved highway. This selection reduced both the length of the haulage road from mine to mill and main water supply line to a minimum. The location provided a sloping mill site, adequate tailings disposal area, housing space for […]
Mining Business Plan
The following document outlines a mining business proposal to design and construct a free standing toll plant facility, known in this document as Peru Toll Treatment (PTT), in southern Peru to accommodate the needs of a growing quantity of small scale miners who produce up to 14 percent of the country’s annual gold production. The […]
Gold Leaching Equipment, Circuits & Process Plants
In Leaching for Gold, there is often a tendency to overlook or minimize the importance of the small mine. The small mine of today may develop into the large mine of tomorrow. Under proper management and financing it has as good a chance of yielding a profit as the larger property. Unfortunately large capital is […]
Gold Washing and Gravity Circuit for Processing Placer Gold
The handling of large quantities of gold-bearing gravels is of utmost importance for most successful placer operations. In addition to providing efficient washing and recovery methods, the placer plant should be constructed as a compact unit that can be readily moved. This is an important consideration because the washing and recovery plant should be close […]
Batch Cyanidation of Flotation Concentrate
The production of gold bullion from gravity or flotation concentrates is often an important economic consideration for an isolated gold mining operation. It is assumed in this case that the coarse free gold has been recovered by the Mineral Jig in the grinding circuit and that the jig concentrate has been amalgamated. This treatment produces […]
Gold Leaching Process
Many opportunities exist throughout the world for small cyanide plants, possibly using a Gold Leaching Process, both for production and pilot operations, especially in areas not easily accessible, and where labor and local costs are on a level for profitable operation. Ores not fully amenable to treatment by amalgamation or flotation processes for the recovery of […]
Small Gold Processing Plant
The problem a Small Gold Processing Plant can solve is for the need to to provide a small, relatively simple and inexpensive gold mill that will operate at a reasonable profit with a minimum of supervision. The limited availability of skilled operating personnel, availability of water and local power, high cost of transporting ore and expense […]
Sulphide Gold Ore Treatment by Leaching and Flotation Process
Problem with gold recovery from sulphide ore: How may a mill get the maximum recovery of gold from a sulphide ore, at the least capital cost and at the same time obtain the highest net return. This latter point is most important. In many cases a gold mill using an all-cyanide flowsheet with fine grinding of […]
Gold and Silver Leaching by Cyanidation
Introduction to Gold and Silver Leaching The cyanide leaching process is the most important method ever developed for extracting gold from its ores. The early development of the process is attributed to a Scotchman, John Stewart Mac Arthur, in collaboration with the Forrest brothers. The method was introduced into South Africa in 1890. From there it spread […]
