Estimated Floatation of Gold ConcentrateFor those who dont understand mass pull ( %) it is the % of the ore sent to floatation that ends up as pulled concentrate
This number needs to be as small as possible to consider floatation to be selective.
The average for the selected samples was 6.5 % which is quite good.
The floatation plant has a capacity of 950,000 tons per year.
With a mass pull of 6.5 %, approximately 61,000 tons of gold concentrate will be produced ( 950,000 tons X 0.065 ) with an average grade just above 1 oz of gold per ton.
In other words about 60,000 ouces per year
