Process
Ore Upgrading – Pre-concentration by magnetic separation could increase the
autoclave feed grade, potentially resulting in increased metal production.
Screening to remove un-mineralized silica clasts should also be revisited on xxx ore.
Sulphuric Acid Production – Roasting pyrite from xxx copper mine in northern xxx could provide a lower cost sulphur source than
buying elemental sulphur. xxx does not currently produce a pyrite concentrate and would have to invest capital to do so.
Magnesia Supply - A local supply of magnesia may be cheaper than imported magnesia from xxx Magnesia.
Atmospheric Leaching - Atmospheric leaching technology instead of HPAL could offer capital cost savings, lower maintenance costs and higher plant reliability but at the expense of lower metal recovery and higher acid and limestone consumption. It would also offer an alternate process if transport of the autoclaves to site proves impossible.
Infrastructure
Electricity Supply - The xxx river basin southwest of xxx has unused
hydroelectric potential which could reduce the cost of power if developed.
Recycle Water - Water from the tailings pond could be used for slurrying the ore from the xxx mine rather than using fresh water from the xxx river.
Effluent Management – The effluent discharge rate and the size of the treatment
plant could be optimized by the addition of a treated water pond.
| Translation - Portuguese
Elevação do Minério – Pré-concentração por separação magnética poderia aumentar o grau de alimentação de autoclave, potencialmente resultando num aumento de produção de metal.
Peneiração para remover fragmentos de sílica não mineralizada também deve ser revista para o minério de xxx.
Produção de Ácido Sulfúrico – A calcinação de pirita da mina de cobre da xxx poderia fornecer uma fonte de enxofre a custo menor do que comprando-se enxofre elementar. A xxx atualmente, não produz um concentrado de pirita e poderia ter que investir capital para fazer isso.
Fornecimento de Magnésio – Um fornecimento local de magnésio pode ser mais barato do que magnésio importado de Queensland.
Lixiviação Atmosférica – tecnologia de lixiviação atmosférica em lugar de HPAL poderia apresentar economia no custo do capital, menores custos de manutenção e maior confiabilidade à usina, mas às custas da menor recuperação de metal e maior consumo de ácido e de calcáreo. Também poderia ser um processo alternativo se o transporte de autoclaves para o local se mostrar impossível.
Infra-estrutura
Alimentação Elétrica – A bacia sudoeste do xxx tem potencial hidroelétrico não utilizado, o que poderia reduzir o custo da energia, se desenvolvido.
Água de Reciclagem – A água oriunda das represas para resíduos poderia ser usada para formar lama de minério oriundo da mina de xxx ao invés de usar água limpa do xxx.
Administração de Efluentes – A taxa de descarga de efluentes e o tamanho da usina de tratamento poderiam ser otimizados pela adição de um reservatório de água tratada.
