    Abstract: Methods and systems for preparing ore for precious metal extraction is provided. For example, a method comprises crushing ore; grinding the crushed ore; screening the ground ore to separate ore particles into a first group of large ore particles and a first group of small ore particles; crushing the first group of large ore particles; screening the crushed ore to separate into a second group of large ore particles and a second group of small ore particles; separating the second group of small ore particles from the screen into a third group of large particles and a third group of small particles; milling the third group of large ore particles; separating milled particles into a fourth group of large particles and a fourth group of small particles; and sending the third and fourth group of small particles for further metal extraction processing.

    Abstract: A process is provided for separation of at least one metal sulfide from a mixed sulfide concentrate. The process may comprise: subjecting the mixed sulfide concentrate to flotation in which at least one sulfide comprising antimony, arsenic and a first metal is floated and at least one sulfide comprising a second metal is depressed. The flotation yields a first metal concentrate having the at least one sulfide comprising antimony, arsenic and the first metal and a second metal concentrate having the at least one sulfide comprising the second metal. The first metal concentrate is leached to yield a further concentrate and a leach solution. The further concentrate comprises the first metal and the leach solution comprises soluble antimony and soluble arsenic. The process may further comprise oxidizing the leach solution to yield an antimony precipitate and an arsenic solution, and forming a stable arsenic compound from the arsenic solution.

    Abstract translation: 提供一种从混合硫化物浓缩物中分离至少一种金属硫化物的方法。 该方法可以包括:使混合的硫化物浓缩物进行浮选,其中至少一种包含锑,砷和第一金属的硫化物浮选,并且至少一种包含第二金属的硫化物被抑制。 浮选产生第一金属浓缩物,其具有包含锑,砷和第一金属的至少一种硫化物,以及第二金属浓缩物,其具有包含第二金属的至少一种硫化物。 将第一金属浓缩物浸出以产生另外的浓缩物和浸提溶液。 进一步的浓缩物包括第一金属和浸出溶液,其包含可溶性锑和可溶性砷。 该方法可以进一步包括氧化浸出溶液以产生锑沉淀物和砷溶液,并从砷溶液形成稳定的砷化合物。
