high grade nickel concentrate. In addition to the nickel, copper, cobalt and PGMs, the ore analysis which indicated that the nickel head grade for the campaign was ~%. Results indicated that both circuit options were viable in producing the required mill product of 80% passing 75#181;m. However, the single stage milling option had
24/3/2017#0183;#32;Therefore, anything over 20 metres in thickness (significantly less thickness than other commodities) and 2% nickel grade or better would be reasonably considered highgrade
The texture of particles within a flotation cell play a pivotal role in both mineral recovery, and the grade, in the flotation concentrate. Theoretical curves can be generated based on particle mineralogy and texture to indicate the maximum graderecovery possible for a given feed ore.

Nickel grade is less than % in the humic layer, and is generally less than %, but occasionally above %, in the red limonite. These two layers are generally considered as overburden for mining and are stripped off before mining the lower mineralised laterite layers, including yellow limonite, saprolite, upper rocky saprolite and lower rocky saprolite.
7/8/2016#0183;#32;Calculated Versus Assay Head. The mill calculated grade is the official mill grade because it is based on physical gold poured and the result of physical inventories. Missing Nickel
The relationship between mill head grade and recoveries, and between mill head and concentrate grades for copper, lead and zinc were analyzed and presented in the Mining Sourcebook in 1990. The study was based on 1332 different operations and the results are shown in the table below [4] .

Some plant operators claim their metallurgical recovery targets are harder, more difficult, to meet as head grades drops down. Is it true or is it just voodoo? Using Mineralogy can answer this question scientifically. Relationship between Head Grade and Mineral Liberation EXAMPLE The red/white dot points to the actual monthly liberation of 42% VS history. The poorly monthly results can be
Froth flotation is a very important mineral concentration process that is used to recover a vast array of different minerals containing valuable commodities such as copper, lead, zinc, nickel, molybdenum, tungsten, silver, gold, phosphate and potash.

Lowgrade disseminated sulphide ore is mined from Mt Keith, a large openpit operation. The ore is crushed and processed onsite to produce nickel concentrate. Highgrade nickel sulphide ore is mined at Cliffs and Leinster underground mines and Rockys Reward openpit mine. The ore is processed through a concentrator and dryer at Leinster.
In this case the maximum grade of Cu is restricted by the host mineral, hence to chalcopyrite the Cu grade cannot exceed % in the concentrate, even assuming recovery of chalcopyrite. This is a simply a function of the chemical composition of chalcopyrite with
In the future, the mills concentrate may be shipped to internal customers in Newfoundland and Ontario or may be sold externally. The Technical Excellence Centres (TEC) initial assessment aims to raise the nickel grade concentrate from 14 per cent to 1718 per cent. And they project the savings at more than 20 million annually!
