A collection of operational and technical reports relating to an experimental project of in-situ acid leaching of remnant copper sulphide ore at the historic Mutooroo mines, which are situated south of Cockburn in the Olary - Broken Hill district....

Potential of fluidized bed entrained state heater system is limited. Process not economic at current titanium prices and technical difficulties remain.

During the 2009-2010 reporting year, Great Southern Kaolin Pty Ltd (GSK)'s activities comprised: - commissioning the pilot plant at the fabrication site in Kingaroy, Qld, in May-June 2010, and processing about 2 t of kaolinised granite through it to...

The Great White Kaolin Project (previously the Poochera Kaolin Project), until recently, comprised four Exploration Licences operated by Andromeda Industrial Minerals Pty Ltd, namely, EL 6096 Whichelby, EL 6202 Mount Hall, EL 6426 Mount Cooper and EL...

The main problem, leading to poor recoveries of copper from the Kadina - Wallaroo tailings dump materials being put through the Kadina copper concentrator, is an increasing amount of oxidized sulphide minerals in the treated tailings. Testing by...

EXPLORATION: Systematic bulk testing of costean samples taken along exposed alluvial channels, by treatment in a wet jig plant. RESULTS: Economic to sub-economic gold values were confirmed as remaining in Brady's, Strawbridge and Deep Gully alluvial...

TARGET: Exploration and evaluation of known secondary copper occurrences and exploration for gold and phosphates in the Lyndhurst-Copley region. EXPLORATION: Including the work done previously in EL 929, exploration activities undertaken since 1981...

The preparation of the double uranous fluorides, NaUF5 and KUF5 from South Australian Uranium oxide, and the reduction of these compounds to metallic uranium has been studied. Reactor grade metal was not produced by the simple process used.

The molten chloride process previously described has been modified to enable the production of electrolytic uranium metal powder directly from impure oxide. The grade of metal obtained is not sufficiently high for atomic energy purposes. High purity...

A novel process for the manufacture of pure uranium metal is described, in which impure uranium oxides are converted to chlorides in a molten salt bath by means of a graphite chlorination reaction. The melt is then purified and uranium metal recovered...

Potential of fluidized bed entrained state heater system is limited. Process not economic at current titanium prices and technical difficulties remain.

An electrolytic method for reduction of ferric iron in sulphate leach liquors from Radium Hill ore was examined. Current efficiencies, power requirements and cathode areas for various liquor flow rates were evaluated using a flow cell and typical...

Tests included flotation tests with salt water and wet magnetic separation on newe 10 ton bulk sample from Brown shaft.

In a letter from Amdel to the South Australian Government Department of Mines, in March 1971, it was proposed that a project be undertaken to develop a pilot-scale electrowinning plant (to be used mainly at Amdel but transportable if required) for...

A licence area consisting of two separate sub-blocks that cover ~460 square km of Palaeoproterozoic BIF ironstone outcrops in the northern and southern parts of the Middleback Range on north-eastern Eyre Peninsula was taken up by The Broken Hill Pty...
