Effects of the mineralogical composition and particle size distribution
Abstract: Globally there is an upward trend by mining operations to opt for tailings dewatering technologies to reduce water consumption, minimise surface disturbance (footprint), increase the stability of tailings deposits and, overall, to operate sustainably. The properties of the mine tailings are largely dictated by the type of ore and the process necessary to liberate the metal values.

Process Mineralogy
Gold Particle Size: In order to establish a gold particle size classification, gold particles can be classified as visible, microscopic, submicroscopic and surface bound. The first class is referred to free gold particles detected on placer deposits or some hydrothermal deposits. The human eye can identify these gold particles without difficulty.

of gold process operating costs. As an illustration, for a gold ore grading 2.3 g/t, a 1% increase in gold recovery generates incremental revenue of about $1/t-ore at a gold price of $1,300/ oz. For cyanide at a price of $3,600/t delivered to a remote mine site, it takes only 0.28 kg/t-ore consumption to equate to $1/t-ore, or 1% gold recovery.
