The 2016 Preliminary Feasibility Study for the Azatek deposit outlines two processing approaches due to the complex mineral composition of the ore. The preferred method involves recovery of all components via bulk gold-bearing concentrates using gravity-flotation or direct bulk flotation, rather than selective processing circuits. The ore is characterized as gold-sulphide, polymetallic, or lead-antimonic, containing gold, silver, lead, antimony, and zinc.

The RECl Plant at Steenkampskraal is designed to extract Rare Earth Elements (REE) from Run-of-Mine (RoM) material. The process utilizes comminution, concentration, and leaching operations to produce a purified solution of mixed RECl’s. The plant is designed for a nominal treatment rate of 70,000 tonnes per annum of RoM material.

The Charley Creek Rare Earth Project, proposed by Pancontinental Uranium Corporation, outlines a comprehensive recovery method for an alluvial deposit carrying heavy minerals. The mine site processing involves two wet plants and one dry plant designed to produce a REO concentrate grading around 40% TREOs. The wet plant utilizes scrubbing, hydrocycloning, and spiral gravity separation to upgrade the concentrate, while the dry plant employs electrostatic and magnetic separation to further refine the product. By-products include ilmenite and zircon concentrates.

The Riotinto concentrator processes copper sulfide mineralized material using conventional froth flotation to produce a copper concentrate. The plant employs a combination of existing equipment associated with historical operations as well as expanded and upgraded facilities. Since refurbishment and re-commissioning in June 2015, the process was upgraded and successfully expanded to 9.5 Mtpa and is currently operating at above 15 Mtpa.

This technical report outlines the recovery methods for the Tugaske Project located in Saskatchewan, Canada. The process plant is designed to produce 250,000 tonnes per year of saleable Muriate of Potash (MOP). The operation utilizes solution mining techniques, involving the injection of heated brine into underground sylvinite ore deposits to selectively dissolve potassium chloride (KCl). The resulting production brine is processed through a multi-stage crystallization circuit to recover KCl crystals.

This section outlines forward-looking information regarding handling and processing methods, plant design, and equipment selection for the CPP project. It details the current Wash Plant flowsheet performance and its suitability for future extraction ores, specifically North Dry Ridge and Husky1. The text reviews future beneficiation plant flowsheets, including modifications to process high MgO ores efficiently.

This Preliminary Economic Assessment outlines the processing plan for the El Cubo project, managed by VanGold. The report details the utilization of the existing El Cubo Mill, which is designed to operate at a throughput of 750 tonnes per day. The plant will process ore sourced from a combination of the El Cubo underground mine and the El Pinguico above-ground and underground stockpiles. The objective is to produce approximately 12 tonnes of gold-silver concentrate daily.

This technical report outlines the process design for the Falchani Lithium Project, which consists of an open pit mine and an associated processing facility. The design is based on achieving a peak milled tonnage of 6 Mt/y over three phases, with a total mine life of 43 years. The Base Case process plant includes mineralized material handling, crushing, grinding, acid leaching, neutralization, softening, evaporation, ion exchange, and lithium carbonate precipitation. The Alternate Case adds specific steps for Potassium Sulfate (SOP) and Mixed Sulfate recovery.
