Summary:

Pyhasalmi mine formed in submarine synvolcanic hydrothermal system: massive sulphides by subseafloor replacement of tuffaceous and intrusive rocks immediately below a hydrothermal mound, and semi-massive banded sulphides right above the sea floor.

Mining Methods

  • Open stoping

Summary:

Pyhäsalmi uses non-entry, bulk open-stope mining methods in a primary-secondary sequence. On average, stope size varies from 50,000 tonnes for narrow primary stopes to over 100,000 tonnes for wider secondary stopes.

Processing Technologies

  • Flotation

Summary:

Milling includes crushing, 3-stage grinding, conventional flotation using three separate circuits, and water removal to produce copper, zinc and pyrite concentrates.
