THE TAIVALJÄRVI SILVER ORE IS SIMPLE TO BE CONCENTRATED

The Mineral Processing Laboratory of the Geological Survey of Finland (GTK) has conducted the Mini Pilot metallurgical test work for Sotkamo Silver. This test forms the first phase of metallurgical tests.

GTK is a worldwide leader among mineral and metal-processing laboratories, which provides innovative tailored solutions for a wide variety of customer-needs in the mining industries.

The samples treated represent the head-grades in the production. In the locked cycle test the recovery was 86,7 % for lead and 90,8 % for zinc. The grade in the concentrate was 55 % for lead and 51 % for zinc. The total silver-recovery according to the test was 76,2 % and 90 % for the gold.

According the Geological Survey of Finland the Taivaljärvi ore is in general simple to be concentrated; with simple process and reasonable reagent-consumptions, fair concentrate grades can be yielded with satisfactory recoveries. After experience of the present test work GTK is still considering the earlier engineering study as valid. The earlier study (C/MT/2007/28) is reported by GTK in 2007.

“I am happy that the good results from earlier pre feasibility studies can be obtained and secured through the whole feasibility process. The results of this mini-pilot test confirms my view that the development steps we have taken are correct and that we are going to be successful with our process-planning based on earlier very good results. The ore is simple to be concentrated.” Comments Timo Lindborg, CEO
