2.2.3. Modal Analysis and Grain Size Distribution<br />

Mineral modal analysis of the overall <strong>com</strong>posite, illustrating mineral distributions by both sample and<br />

fraction, is presented in Table 6. The major sulphide minerals are chalcopyrite, pentlandite and pyrrhotite,<br />

while the major floatable gangue minerals are orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, chlorite/serpentine and talc.<br />

The value minerals of this ore are chalcopyrite, accounting for 1.2% of the overall mineral mass, and<br />

pentlandite accounting for 1.1% of the overall mineral mass. The distributions of chalcopyrite and<br />

pentlandite increase in the finer fractions. The main constituent of sulphide gangue is pyrrhotite at 5.8% of<br />

the sample. Pyrite is present in only a few grains mainly liberated with a couple of attached grains.<br />

Chlorite, serpentine, amphiboles, pyroxene, talc, mica, and iron oxides account for a significant portion of<br />

the non-sulphide gangue. A high proportion of the gangue is potentially floatable.<br />
