Laboratory report - Main Open Cut oxide ore leaching.
Created: 12 Nov 2024 Revised: 12 Nov 2024

Maximum recovery depends on particle size. Expected recovery in an operating heap leach situation would be around 60-70% (of oxide copper) for minus 400 mm ore, increasing to around 85-90% for minus 50 mm ore. The sample (predominantly malachite...

Maximum recovery depends on particle size. Expected recovery in an operating heap leach situation would be around 60-70% (of oxide copper) for minus 400 mm ore, increasing to around 85-90% for minus 50 mm ore. The sample (predominantly malachite / quartzite ore) is not necessarily representative of the oxide orebody.
