Slide 6: The background: Mining industry & technology
The background Mining industry & technology The most important technological invention of the last century? • Whatever it is, they’re all dependent upon metals and minerals! • Arguably, froth flotation should be in No. 1 spot – the mineral processing method used to produce sulphide copper, zinc, lea
Slide 7: The background: Hydrometallurgy process has major benefits
The background Hydrometallurgy process has major benefits • Higher returns by increasing mine- site metal product value. • Can makes uneconomic ore bodies economic. • No associated concentrate costs, ie: transport, smelter & refinery charges (which can be > 40% of contained metal value). • Valuable
Slide 8: Major operational and economic advantages
Major operational and economic advantages • Alkaline/ammonia leach process at ambient pressure and temperature • Proprietary two stage leaching process ‒ Ore specific pre-treatment stage ‒ Heap or tank leaching • Proprietary solvent extraction step to avoid ammonia carry-over into electrolyte • Grea
Slide 9: AmmLeach: Major economic and environmental benefits
AmmLeach® Major economic and environmental benefits • Major capital and operating cost savings (typically 30-40%) possible due to magnitude of reagent (ammonia cf acid) consumption differential. • Aside from the very substantial capital and cost savings, AmmLeach® has several major operational and e
Slide 10: Target usage
Target usage The following metals are main targets for the AmmLeach® process: • Copper and Copper/Cobalt oxide deposits • Zinc oxide (non-sulphide) deposits • Gold/Copper oxides and Silver/Zinc oxides (alkali leaching) Slide 10
Slide 11: Global opportunity
Global opportunity Geographic diversification is offered as the countries with the most prospective geology for hosting high acid consuming copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) oxides are: • Turkey (Zn, Cu) • Australia (Cu & Co) • DRC (Cu, Cu/Co) • Zambia (Cu & Co) • Peru (Cu & Zn) • Chile(Cu) • Mexico (Cu & Z
