Slide 5: Recovery Improvement: What did we do?
Recovery Improvement • What did we do? – Training. Specialist training and met support – Flotation testing. Improved reagent scheme, optimised mass pull. – Automate pH control in CIL and con leach – Leach testing, improved reagent control and response to ore characteristics. – Elution debottleneckin
Slide 6: Recovery Improvement: further work toward 90% Au and 70% Ag
Recovery Improvement It does not stop, further work to achieve 90% Au and 70% Ag recovery. • Circuit stability – Asset Management and increased MTBS – Feed blending for consistency – Control and response - Operator Training • Further Enhance Gravity Recovery – Fluidisation water – Increased feed rat
Slide 7: Recovery Improvement: Flotation, Concentrate Leach/CCD and CIL
Recovery Improvement • Flotation – Reagent automation and optimisation – Froth cameras and control improvement – Increasing mass pull • Concentrate Leach/CCD – Oxygen addition improvements – Automate cyanide addition – Density control – Increase washing capacity • CIL – Regeneration circuit optimisa
