Abstract

The ore is a low-grade oxidized gold ore.By means of activating the minerals containing gold to make them easier floated.After flotation concentration,a gold concentrate of 21.75g/t Au was obtained with a recovery of 78.46%.Under the condition of direct cyanide leaching of flotation concentrate,the leaching rate of gold achieved 97.62%,and the total gold recovery of flotation and cyanide leaching processes reached 76.59%.Thus,it is believed that by adopting the combined flowsheet of mineral processing and metallurgy,it is possible to realize comprehensive exploitation and utilization of similar kinds of low-grade gold mineral resources.
