$developments in the processing of refractory & complex gold ores$

INTRODUCTION Copper hydrometallurgical technology is continuing to develop and expand for the treatment of copper oxide and sulphide ores and concentrates. 2
KEY DRIVERS • The emergence of SX-EW as a robust, relatively low-tech, process for selectively extracting copper from sulphuric acid leach solutions and producing Grade A cathode product. • The availability of extensive high grade oxide copper and copper/cobalt ore deposits in the Central African Copperbelt. • The successful large scale treatment of oxide ores by heap leaching and secondary sulphide ores by heap bio-leaching. • The need for an economic process for treating low grade and complex primary sulphide ores. • The desirability of producing a high grade copper product at site, especially for small, medium and remote sulphide ore mines. • 3
