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.

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 de-watered, dried and packaged ready for shipment to the designated customer.
