Thanks to record gold prices Perpetua Resources is set to resurrect an Idaho mine to supply the Pentagon with vital weapons grade antimony bust a Chinese monopoly and rehab 20 miles of back
4Cl system aforementioned used in the antimony ore treatment is not suitable due to a large amount of calcium leaching and circu lation accumulation in the electrolyte Therefore this study attempts to use the SE process to pre remove antimony from high calcium low antimony gold concentrate Ca Sb Auore inHCl CaCl
Gold and antimony mineralization in northern and northeastern Queensland localized in the strongly deformed rocks of a plate margin is related to several stages of orogenic
examines the potential of developing the Hillgrove Gold Antimony Mine by constructing open cut and underground mines and expanding a processing facility to produce gold antimony concentrate for export and gold dor for domestic refining and sale The Prefeasibility Study outcomes production targets and forecast financial information
For instance a Canadian electro refinery removed antimony from the electrolyte containing about 241 ppm Sb III and 134 ppm Sb V through ion exchange method using Duolite C 467 an amino phoshonic resin Improved gold and silver extraction from a refractory antimony ore by pretreatment with alkaline sulphide leach Hydrometallurgy 105
Refining dross is the result of lead refining process where impurities like copper tellurium arsenic antimony tin silver zinc and bismuth in sequence from lead bullion There are many types and composition of each type of dross varies and is subjected to specific refining steps and raw material contents
From a gold world production of approximately 2600 metric tons in 2004 about 10% was recovered as a byproduct Chen and Dutrizac 2004 Most of that secondary gold is recovered as a byproduct from the copper industry but significant quantities of gold are also recovered as a byproduct from the nickel and lead industry and the potential also exists to
Effectiveness of different pure and mixed cultures of three moderately thermophilic extremely acidophilic bacterial strains Acidimicrobium ferrooxidans ICP Sulfobacillus sibiricus N1 Acidithiobacillus caldus KU were investigated for biooxidation of highly refractory polymetallic gold ore concentrates Despite of its complex mineralogy and the
The refractory gold ore samples were obtained from Yunnan province in china 5 kg of gold ore was crushed and milled to μm D50 After milling the gold ore is stirred evenly The mineral composition and relative content of gold concentrate were obtained by optical microscopy MLA chemical analysis data and gravity concentration Table 1
The Hillgrove gold antimony project sits 23km east of Armidale in NSW and has been mined on and off since 1887 Throughout its life Hillgrove has produced over 730 thousand ounces of gold and over 50 thousand tonnes of antimony The mine has a JORC compliant high grade gold resource of million ounces Moz at grams per tonne of gold
Materials and reagents All the reagents used in the experiment such as sulfuric acid H 2 SO 4 nitric acid HNO 3 copper sulfate CuSO 4 sodium thiosulfate Na 2 S 2 SO 3 and sodium hydroxide NaOH were analytically pure and the water used in the whole experiment was deionized water with the electrical resistivity of MΩ The refractory
Furthermore the interaction between various factors for Na 2 S NaOH leaching of the low grade antimony bearing gold ore are also determined through response surface model using Design Expect software The expected results can provide a reference for the pre removal of antimony in low grade antimony bearing gold ores to support

China s antimony mine production amounted to approximately 40 000 metric tons in 2023 which was a significant drop from previous years Global iron ore mine production 2023 by country
China is the biggest antimony ore producer but production has declined to 40 000 tons in 2023 from 61 000 tons in 2020 as a result of falling ore grades and more stringent environmental requirements Perpetua Resources which is building a antimony and gold project with support from the Pentagon had planned to begin production by 2028
Carlin type deposits represent a major source of gold and account for 8% of the current global gold production Muntean and Cline 2018 Following the definition of the Carlin type deposits in Nevada similar ore deposits Carlin like were reported in the Youjiang basin of SW China Peters et al 2007; Su et al 2009a 2018; Hu and Zhou 2012; Hou et al
Consequently complexities of ore mineralogy pose a lot of mineral processing challenges Feng and Deventer 2010 Gold can be found in complex sulfide minerals in particular pyrite and arsenopyrite Asamoah et al 2018 In refractory gold ores the gold is highly encapsulated in the sulfide matrix and pre treatment is an important
Fortunately for the at that time a gold mine in central Idaho called the Stibnite mine was able to step up production of the antimony that is an element in the mine s ore and helped fill
Ore is trucked on the surface from the Augusta mine portal to the Brunswick processing plant where it is stockpiled and blended into the processing circuit scavenger cleaner flotation gravity circuit and filtering Gravity gold concentrate is sold to a refinery in Melbourne Victoria and gold antimony flotation concentrate is trucked
