Among them, the high- spiral classifier is usually used for coarse-grained classification, and its classification overflow particle size diameter is generally greater …

Open Pit Mining

The expected overall copper recovery from the ore is 88%. Calculate the maximum stripping ratio if the total cost of production (excluding overburden removal) is $5.90 per ton of ore and overburden removal costs are $0.3 per ton of waste. Assume copper values of $1.00, $1.25, and $1.50 per kg of refined metal at the smelter. …

African copper mines to maintain cost competitiveness

However, with copper forecast to surpass $12,000 per ton by 2028, by-product revenues will start to contribute to a lesser degree to the overall cash margin. Moreover, with site costs and VACC expected to rise in Africa, the forecast increase in copper price will exceed that of site cost and VACC escalation, leading to widening …

Mineral Prossesing

fuel and energy consumption per ton of metal smelted. 6. Reduction of the total smelting cost: As there is a partial separation of gauge from the ore, lesser amount of upgraded ore is to be smelted for a particular output capacity. This reduces the fuel and energy consumption per ton of metal smelted. 7. Reduction of the total smelting cost:
