The Ernest Henry Mining (EHM) orebody. The EHM orebody is an iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) deposit with magnetite being the form of iron ore. EHM’s Ore Reserve Estimate at 30 June 2010 is 88 million tonnes at a grade of 1% copper, 0.5 grams per tonne gold and 23% magnetite. In 2010, EHM produced 74,595 tonnes of copper in concentrate and 91,259
Copper and magnetite are recovered on behalf of Foskor (a neighbouring mining company) by toll-processing 20,000 Tpd of marginal ore from stockpiles from the open pit operation. The conventional process route is also applied to underground ore available in excess of autogenous milling capacity.
The Boddington copper gold ore is of. there is significant cost associated with milling the ore to fine sizes using ball mills in closed circuit with hydrocyclones. In magnetite ore mining
Iron ore (coarse grade) Manufacture Current magnetite production is a by-product of the copper operations and as such is recovered from the Concentrator floatation tails stream by magnetic separation. Approximately 15%, by weight, of magnetite is removed by 'cleaning' and 're-cleaning' of the magnetic concentrate from the first stage.

Palabora Mining Copper has a unique ore body composition which unlike other copper ore bodies has three main components in significant proportions; these are copper bearing ore, magnetite and dolerite. The high content of dolerite, a hard barren material, creates a high proportion of pebbles which normally are recycled back to the mill.
The four major steps in the production of marketable copper are mining, concentrating, smelting, and refining. In a few instances, however, leaching takes the place of concentrating, smelting, and refining. At present, although considerable leaching and direct-smelting ores are produced, the bulk of the copper ore mined is concentrated. The milling of copper ores as practiced in the larger
milling of the magnetic concentrate, a finisher magnetic separation stage and silica flotation, was installed at Empire Mines in 1963 (Weiss, 1985). There have been three expansions since

Magnetite Oxide is one of the major ores of iron, and the most magnetic of all the naturally occurring minerals in nature. Its primary use is as a source of iron. Magnetite, which has the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) name iron(ii,iii) oxide, it is a metallic, black, opaque mineral that has the chemical formula Fe 3
Jan 31, 2008· The ore consists of approximately 50% microwave absorbing material, which occurs predominantly as magnetite. The small amount of copper sulfides present (chalcopyrite, cubanite, bornite, valeriite, chalcocite and covellite) are also microwave susceptible, though the total grade of copper in the ore is less than 0.5%.
tons of ore averaging 1.28% copper. Today, Craigmont is recovering magnetite from the mill tailings for use in the coal mining industry, the fertilizer industry, specialty paints and as an abrasive in the sand blasting industry. Material from the old tailings pile
2. Hematite-magnetite-chalcopyrite replacements and/or veins, 3. Bornite-chalcocite-chalcopyrite associated with pegmatite type veins and 4. Magnetite breccias. All mineralization types are found in all the mining areas, but the content of each varies in each pit. Currently, there are two main ore sources for Copper Mountain, Pit 2 and Pit 3.
At these mines a device called a Wetherill's Magnetic Separator (invented by John Price Wetherill, 1844–1906)[1] was used. In this machine the raw ore, after calcination was fed onto a moving belt which passed underneath two pairs of electromagnets under which further belts
Iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) deposits (Hitzman et al., 1992) are a diverse family of mineral deposits characterised by the following features: (1) Cu with or without Au, as economic metals, (2) hydrothermal ore styles and strong structural controls, (3) abundant magnetite and/or hematite, (4) Fe oxides with Fe/Ti greater than those in most igneous rocks, and (5) no clear spatial associations
For that reason, hematite ore is important for many mining companies.As Australia’s Magnetite Network explains, “[d]irect shipping ores, when mined, typically have iron (Fe) content of between
Magnetic Separators. From the rod mill the material proceeds to the cobber magnetic separators. Any non-magnetic material which has been released by the rod mill is separated and sent to the tailings thickener. Magnetite iron ore particles are separated by the magnetite separator from the gangue (waste material) minerals in the cobber magnetic
Mar 29, 2020· Ferric chloride and ferric sulphate are manufactured with magnetite as one of the starting materials. These chemicals are effective in clarifying raw water in water purification plants. The dark, glossy nature of magnetite ore has led to its use in landscaping as accent rocks.
Inside the mill, the ore is mixed with water in two rotating SAG mills which use the larger rocks and 8-inch steel balls to reduce the ore to about 10 mm or smaller. Then two ball mills grind the ore to about 0.2 mm with 3-inch steel balls. This copper ore slurry is finally pumped to the flotation deck. these magnetite-rich cobbles are
