The consumption of cyanide during processing operations is a major economic cost in the extraction of gold from its ores, while the discharge of cyanide wastes may result in significant environmental pollution. Many factors influence the levels of consumption and discharge of cyanide, including ore mineralogy and lixiviant solution …

This paper presents a case study of the modelling of the natural oxidation of pyrite in a refractory gold ore stockpile at a mine on the island of Aniolam in Papua New Guinea to predict the gold recovery through direct cyanide leaching. The stockpile comprises low-grade material that was mined twenty years ago to access the orebody.

In vein-hosted gold deposits, gold distribution typically shows very low spatial continuity, i.e., a very high-nugget effect, which makes it unreliable to model the ore-body using traditional geostatistical techniques [1, 2].In such situations geologists may resort to using a proxy for gold, such as presence of alteration or deformation, to outline the ore …

Note that in our modelling system, the oxygen transport is simulated at two different scales. One is at the bulk scale over the stockpile, where it is assumed . Conclusions. This paper presents a numerical modelling framework for estimating the pyrite oxidation level in refractory gold ore stockpiles.

Many numerical modelling tools have been developed to simulate pyrite oxidation as well as the related physical and geochemical processes for ore leaching and AMD prediction. Early modelling work can be found in Cathles and Apps, 1975, Jaynes et al., 1984, Davis and Ritchie, 1986, Pantelis, 1993, Elberling, et al., 1994, Wunderly et …

The Proterozoic Marymia Inlier is known for orogenic gold deposits along granite-mafic rock contacts within major bounding thrust planes, including the producing Plutonic mine. A 3D prospectivity model was built based largely on surface geology extended into the subsurface using geophysical data, confirmed by drill data when …

In this study, mineral prospectivity modelling for epithermal gold mineralisation has been completed over the Taupo Volcanic Zone (TVZ) of New Zealand (Fig. 1) in both 2D and 3D space using the weights of evidence modelling technique (Bonham-Carter, 1994) and a multiclass index overlay technique (McGaughey et al., …

Gold ores are classified "free-milling" and "refractory" based on their response to cyanide dissolution. Bioprocessing can be used to treat refractory gold-bearing sulfide ores as …

We introduce a novel approach to analyse and assess the structural framework of ore deposits that fully integrates 3D implicit modelling in data-rich environments with field observations. We apply this approach to the early Palaeozoic Navachab gold deposit which is located in the Damara orogenic belt, …

The ore shoots are discrete, elongate zones within a planar contact surface that contain higher metal contents than the adjacent parts of the host rock (Peters, 1993a). The two known ore shoots in the Navachab gold deposit are economically defined by relatively high gold grades of 3–7 ppm (Steven and Badenhorst, 2002). One major ore …

In total, 14,262 gold blocks were obtained from the ore body 3D models, of which 70.15% belong to the B2 unit; the rest of the blocks, 4,256, were all situated in the B1 unit. The F2 fault-affiliated F III shear zone is the main ore-controlling structure of the gold mine, and the eastern ore bodies are located in the footwall of the F2 fault ...

For refractory gold ores, in which gold occurs mainly as submicroscopic gold in sulfide minerals and is associated with carbonaceous matter in some deposits, pretreatment is required before leaching, making gold ore processing more challenging and ore characterization more important. 3.1.

Modelling gold potential from geological features Studies by Dominy and Johansen (2004) have shown that where gold has a very high nugget effect, sampling of the ore body using half-core does not provide a large enough sample size for gold assay and this can result in serious underestimation of gold grade.

The first attempts to propose a process model for the localisation of high-grade ore shoots in vein-style gold deposits date back to the early twentieth century (e.g. Hulin 1929).For example, in the case of gold-bearing reefs at Norseman, Western Australia, reefs, which were hosted by moderate flat-dipping reverse faults, a systematic …

Aqueous complexation has long been considered the only viable means of transporting gold to depositional sites in hydrothermal ore-forming systems. Here, we present direct evidence supporting an alternative hypothesis, namely, the transport of gold as colloidal particles. We observed nano-scale gold particles adsorbed on halloysite and …

The bulk of the gold in the orogenic gold deposit at Fosterville is late stage, was emplaced after the main period of the Benambran fold development and is localised by later faulting events. 3D implicit modelling results described here demonstrate that the shallow (~23°) south-plunging ore shoots do not parallel the accompanying folds (plunge ...

The modeling and analysis were based on a geochemical dataset of 1130 borehole samples from the Qujia gold deposit. The ore bodies developed in deep traps (e.g., fault intersections and dilational cracks). Gold and S are positively correlated and mainly distributed along the Jiaojia Fault (JJF). Scatter plots show little correlation …

Orogenic gold-quartz deposits have a clear structural control and are accompanied by wallrock metasomatic alteration. However, in detailed modeling of such deposits, there is often a mismatch between the structural plans for high-grade ore zone distribution and metasomatite zones, and the latter are not always associated with faults.
