- Concentrator •
- The <3/4” ore will be first sent
to a dry cobber (dry magnetic separation) located at the
concentrator. The cobber will remove non-magnetic material from
the ore and improve the grinding process and throughput in the
concentrator. The non-magnetic discard will be sent to the waste
stockpile.
- The concentrator will
feed the two ore streams to large, dual autogenous grinding
mills, where ore is tumbled with other ore to reduce its size.
The finely ground ore then will pass through a series of wet
magnetic separators, fine screens and flotation to produce a
high quality concentrate slurry containing very high iron and
very low silica. The slurry will then be pumped to the
pelletizer
approximately 1.5 miles northeast. Tailings will be pumped to
the tailings pond for settling, with clear water being returned
to the concentrator for reuse.
