Marathon Feasibility Update Designs a 25,200 t/d SAG-Ball and Flotation Plant With HIG Regrind and SFR Cleaners for a Copper-PGM Concentrate

The Generation Mining Limited Marathon Property Pre-Feasibility Study (PEA) details a proposed open-pit mining operation in Ontario, Canada, targeting copper and platinum group metals (PGMs). The project utilizes a conventional crushing and grinding circuit followed by a split copper-PGM flotation flowsheet. The process plant is designed to treat 5 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa) in the first five years, with an expansion to 8 Mtpa planned for production year six onwards.

Huakan J&L Milling Plant PEA — 2006

This Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) outlines two processing flowsheet options for the J&L Milling Plant, managed by Huakan. Both options utilize a similar processing sequence including crushing, Heavy Media Separation (HMS), grinding, flotation, pressure oxidation, and cyanidation. The primary distinction lies in the concentrate strategy: Option A produces a single saleable lead concentrate with zinc recovery via hydrometallurgy, while Option B produces separate lead and zinc concentrates. The plant is designed for a throughput of 1,500 tonnes per day, processing ore with average feed grades of 6.42 g/t Au, 69.78 g/t Ag, 2.2% Pb, and 3.6% Zn.

Collahuasi Copper Concentrator: Grinding, Flotation and Expansion

This section of the 2025 Technical Report details the recovery methods and processing infrastructure for the Collahuasi Copper Mine operated by CMDIC. The facility utilizes a conventional sulphide flotation process to produce separate copper and molybdenum concentrates. The plant currently operates at a capacity of 170 ktpd following a 2023 expansion, with a flowsheet including primary gyratory crushing, SAG and ball mill grinding, and multi-stage flotation circuits. The copper-molybdenum concentrate is produced at the Ujina plant site, with molybdenum separation occurring at the Punta Patache port facility.

Kwanika-Stardust Project — 2023 Technical Report

This NI 43-101 Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment outlines the recovery methods and processing design for the Kwanika-Stardust Project. The plant is designed to process an average of 22,000 tonnes per day of mineralized material, with a total mill life of approximately 94 million tonnes. The flowsheet is based on preliminary testwork and financial evaluations, utilizing standard technologies widely used in copper flotation plants. The project focuses on the recovery of copper and gold from sulphide ore through a comprehensive comminution and flotation circuit.

Norra Kärr PFS Pairs Magnetic Separation of Eudialyte With Sulfuric Acid Leaching and Solvent Extraction for a Mixed Rare Earth Oxide

This technical report section outlines the conceptual recovery methods for the Norra Kärr Project, developed by Tasman Metals Limited. The project focuses on the extraction of rare earth elements (REE), yttrium, and zirconium from peralkaline intrusive rocks. A conceptual flowsheet was developed by J.E. Litz and Associates, LLC, incorporating test work from SGS-Lakefield, the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK), and internal bench testing. The process is designed to handle the specific mineralogy of the deposit, which includes acid-soluble gangue minerals like natrolite and nepheline.

KSM (Kerr-Sulphurets-Mitchell) — 2022 Technical Report

The 2022 Prefeasibility Study outlines the recovery methods for the KSM project, designed to process ore from the Mitchell, Sulphurets, and East Mitchell deposits. The process plant is designed to start with a nominal rate of 130,000 tpd and expand to 195,000 t/d by Year 3 of operations. The mill life is approximately 33 years, excluding production development and closure stages. The ore is transported via a train system through the MTT from the mine site to the Treaty OPC area.

Hod Maden Project — Pre-Feasibility Study

The Hod Maden Project Pre-Feasibility Study outlines the design of a processing plant primarily configured as a copper concentrator with significant gold recovery. The facility is designed to treat 900,000 tonnes per annum of underground ore, utilizing a single-stage crushing circuit followed by semi-autogenous grinding (SAG) and ball milling. The metallurgical strategy employs a bulk sulphide flotation circuit to recover gold and copper together, followed by differential flotation to upgrade the copper concentrate.
