Flow Sheet: Subscription required

Summary:

The processing facilities at the mine produce copper in concentrate, which then is processed to copper cathode at the Group’s existing smelting and refining facilities, where there is sufficient spare capacity.

Primary crushed ore is reclaimed from the concentrator stockpile via underground feeders and transported to the primary and secondary grinding section of the concentrator, where a 12.2 metre diameter, 28 MW gearless drive SAG Mill and two 8.5 metre diameter gearless drive ball mills process the ore into slurry prior to delivery to the flotation section of the concentrator. Copper concentrate is gradually separated from the waste tailings as it passes through the flotation process. Molybdenum is extracted as a separate product at the end of the flotation process. The copper concentrate is pumped to the filter facility where it will be de-watered and stockpiled in powder form prior to loading into rail wagons and shipped for smelting. The molybdenum product will also be ........
