WELLGREEN - Minerals ( solid solution + siilicates ) HIGHLIGHTS -
- other minerals in solid solution ( nickel, plat group )
- high values of barium 5000 ppm
- higher values of nickel in the silicates ( figures - 15, 16, 17 )
- detailed spectrpocy / mineral grain size
First mention
can't recover nickel in silicates with - fine grind
Second mention
can't recover nickel in silicates with - fine grind
Goes on to mention why These figures are sirnilar and indicate the relatively high proportion
of Ni contained within silicate structues, which is, therefore,
not recoverable by sul-fide flotation.
Told ya ! Wellgreen needs 2 extraction flowsheets ( built into one mine plan )
Separate silicates from sulphides.
What i'd like to see in a 100% mineral distribution pie chart for silicates ? - free roam metallics
- solid solution
- mineral in crystal lattic structure

Lee went to Manitoba nickel belt ( HudBay ) ( Crown ) lol
Hey... Lee was good back in the wellgreen days
all changed there after with, flying, elephant
