Unveiling different pyrrhotite superstructures in copper-gold ore
A copper–gold ore sample containing particles with a P 80 of 7 mm was supplied from a copper–gold flotation plant in Western Australia. This ore sample contains pyrrhotite grains with sizes ranging from 150 to 500 μm. Table 1 lists the elemental composition of the ore as determined by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission …

Geometallurgical Characterization and Automated Mineralogy of Gold …
The concentration of gold in the Earth's crust and mantle is extremely low and highly variable, resulting in ore variability in many gold and copper–gold deposits. More importantly, gold in an ore may occur in two or three forms (i.e., microscopic gold, submicroscopic gold, and surface gold), making gold ore processing extremely …
