the IsaMill to increase mineral reactivity and eliminate
the potential for passivation of the mineral surface during
leaching. This enables leaching to occur at atmospheric
pressure. Oxidative leaching of the finely ground concen-
trate occurs in the OxiLeach Reactor System. The aspect
ratio of the tanks coupled with supersonic oxygen injec-
tion via the HyperSparge system maximises oxygen mass
transfer and utilisation by creating a hydrostatic head, high
shear, and increased particle contact.
Figure 4 summarises the potential stages of testwork,
design and commissioning that might apply to extend the
life of a depleting asset through the addition of processing
solutions to treat the sulfide component of an ore body.
