BHP CEO Mike Henry led the opening of Spence's new copper concentrator plant today. The project required an investment of US$2.46 billion and has a throughput of 95,000 tpd to produce copper concentrate and …
Our exceptional expertise and technically advanced methods of delivering copper concentrators and processing plants has resulted in cost-effective projects
The copper concentrator plant, located at Al Mudhaibi in North Al Sharqiyah Governorate, is part of Alara Resources' strategic plan to expand its presence in the Middle East and capitalise on the region's abundant mineral resources. The facility is designed to extract and process copper ore from Al Hadeetha Mine, one of the largest copper ...

Oxide ores are generally processed using hydrometallurgy. This process uses aqueous (water-based) solutions to extract and purify copper from copper oxide ores at ordinary temperatures, usually in three steps: heap leaching, solvent extraction, and electrowinning. Heap Leachingis the process of using percolating …
Our turnkey concentrator plant delivery enables economical and flexible plant design and implementation. An important benefit of integrated solution development is optimizing the entire value chain, aiming to increase the value of mineral deposits and the size of ore reserves.

KOLWEZI, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO, 11 OCTOBER 2021 – The ramp-up of Kamoa Copper's Phase 1, 3.8 million-tonne-per-annum (Mtpa) concentrator plant continues to advance ahead of schedule, with approximately 320 000 tonnes of ore milled in September.. More than 16,000 tonnes of copper concentrate were produced and a total of …
The high grade concentrate is thickened and filtered in the high grade oxide copper thickeners at the concentrator plant prior to transfer to the leach plant for electrowinning of copper in the leach plant high grade circuit.
For example, the average copper head grade in Chile has decreased by 30 % over the last 15 years. World's largest copper concentrator ndida's head grade has significantly declined from around 2.5 % copper in the 1990′s to around 0.5 % today (Erismann, 2022). The mining industry has responded to these challenges by processing higher ...

The balancing tool also calculates automatically both the bulk and component recoveries for each of the plant streams. This forms a basis for accurate plant wide accounting deepened into stream-by-stream recoveries of all the plant equipment. Such a recoveries are shown in the graph below for the example gold concentrator plant flowsheet.
First ore was fed into the concentrator plant on May 20 and the start of copper concentrate production occurred on May 25, several months ahead of schedule. As of June 30, 313,000 tonnes of ore grading 4.85% copper had been conveyed to the run-of- ... the Phase 2 concentrator plant construction, which is still tracking ahead of schedule."
BHP CEO Mike Henry led the opening of Spence's new copper concentrator plant today. The project required an investment of US$2.46 billion and has a throughput of 95,000 tpd to produce copper concentrate and molybdenum concentrate.
Since 2019 Concentrator advanced from Wemco flotation cells to tank flotation cells. The final milled product at 80% passing 0.15 mm is fed to the Tankcells Flotation Plant (TFP) with capacity of 1 745 t/hr, which is a counter-current circuit, where the copper is concentrated into the overflow of the rougher, cleaner and re-cleaner flotation stages.
Copper processing is a complicated process that begins with mining of the ore (less than 1% copper) and ends with sheets of 99.99% pure copper called cathodes, which will ultimately be made into products for everyday use.

This allows coarse particle flotation (CPF) to typically recover an additional 3–6% of the mineral contained in the run of mine (ROM) mill feed of copper concentrator plants. CPF was successfully introduced in the base metals industry in the "Tail Scavenging" (TS) application at Newcrest's Cadia Valley Operation in New South Wales in ...
Copper concentrates are typically processed via pyrometallurgy-hydrometallurgy consisting of smelting, converting, fire-refining and electro-refining (Fig. 4 and Table 6).
