Aurora Gold Mine: Analyst Information Session – Jan 18, 2016
2015 to 2019 is based on saprolite/fresh rock blend. Gold recovery is nominally 97.0% for saprolite and 94.4% for fresh rock. Total of 32.5M tonnes of ore processed. Fresh Rock is crushed prior to the single stage SAG mill grinding section followed by leaching, CIL, carbon desorption, and eluate electrowinning.

The spare mill capacity can then be applied to the material without the need for dilution water – and maintaining the required leach feed % solids. After each stage of optimisation, SRK conducted full surveys of the grinding circuit to confirm the improvements and to benchmark current operational efficiency against historical performance.

Nickel is apparently enriched in both saprolite and rocky saprolite, but cobalt is only enriched in the saprolite. The principal ore minerals identified in the Ramu deposit include goethite, asbolan and garnierite. Goethite is found as ochre-coloured, porous, cryptocrystalline, needle-like matrix in the limonite and saprolite zones of the laterite.

The nominal primary grind size was 50um P80. Potassium Amyl Xanthate (PAX) was used as the sulphide mineral collector in the rougher circuit. The rougher circuit pH was maintained at natural through eight minutes of rougher flotation. For Tests 69 to 76 a gravity separation stage, including cyanidation of the gravity concentrate was included.

Beneficiation of nickeliferous laterite by reduction ...
Smelting is necessary for saprolite processing due to the need for the destruction of magnesium-silicate lattice to recover nickel (Bergman, 2003). RKEF process involves two high-temperature steps: calcination and pre-reduction at 850–1000 °C in a rotary kiln and smelting at 1500–1600 °C in an electric furnace.

All soft saprolite is within 30m of surface and will be free-digging with very low strip ratios, which should equate to much lower life-of-mine mining costs. The saprolite material does not require primary crushing or grinding which will result in substantially reduced processing costs compared to hard rock deposits.

Saprolite - Wikipedia
Saprolite (from Greek σαπρος = putrid + λιθος = rock) is a chemically weathered rock (literally, it means "rotten rock"). More intense weathering results in a continuous transition from saprolite to laterite.. Saprolites form in the lower zones of soil horizons and represent deep weathering of the bedrock surface. In lateritic regoliths – regoliths are the loose layer of rocks ...
