ORE PROCESSINGRun-of-mine ore is crushed and ground, free gold is recovered in a gravity circuit and flotation is used to recover a sulphide concentrate. This is then oxidised using autoclaves, producing feed for conventional carbon-in-pulp cyanide leaching to recover the contained gold.Low-grade stockpile and open pit ore are crushed using a gyratory crusher. Coarse ore is conveyed from the stockpile to two parallel SAG mills. The discharge is pumped to three clusters of cyclones in closed circuit with three ball mills. Coarse SAG mill discharge is crushed in two cone crushers and returned to the SAG feed. The slurry is then pumped to the flotation circuit. A Knelson concentrator gravity separation circuit, installed in 1997, has improved recovery of free gold prior to flotation
