It’s mining and smelting complex produces copper anode crude lead bullion containing silver and zinc concentrate Copper is recovered in the Copper Concentrator from chalcopyrite ore

Capricorn Copper Mine’s location 125kms north of the established mining centre of Mount Isa provides ready access to existing regional power water and transport infrastructure as well as highly skilled employees specialised suppliers and an established mining support base

Mount Isa Mines is one of Australia’s oldest largest and most complex mining operations It is the second largest producer of copper in Australia and a key asset in Glencore’s global mining portfolio Mount Isa Mines location and roster offers an attractive lifestyle option

Glencore Mount Isa Mines refurbished their existing flotation cells and associated equipment within the Copper Concentrator during 2015 and 2016 The plant was more than 40 years old and the refurbishment was targeted to allow the concentrator to operate at a high levels of reliability and availability for the remaining life of the mine

Standard concentrator design reduces costs and expedites delivery In 2012 Bechtel completed a copper concentrator at the nearby Antapaccay Project We drew on this experience to build the facility at Las Bambas Bechtel’s largest greenfield concentrator to date

Copper concentrate is the first commercial product of the copper production line and is composed of approximately equal parts of copper iron and sulfide Concentrates are the raw material for all copper smelters which by processing it obtain an impure form of metallic copper anode or blister copper which is later used to produce high purity

This flowchart made of machinery icons explains or expresses in simple but clear terms the step of the Copper Mining and Copper Extraction Process Starting from either openpit or underground mining and using a different relevant treatment method for oxide or sulphide copper mineral ore Having a quick look now at how porphyry ores are treated and the metals extracted

Mount Isa Mines Limited operates the Mount Isa copper lead zinc and silver mines near Mount Isa Queensland Australia as part of the Glencore group of companies For a brief period in 1980 MIM was Australias largest company It has pioneered several significant mining industry innovations including the Isa Process copper refining technology the Isasmelt smelting technology and the IsaMill fine grinding

Challenge Kennecott Utah Copper operates the Bingham canyon mine concentrator plant a smelter and a refinery Ore from this mine is concentrated into slurry piped to where the smelting process occurs and then sent to the refinery Efficient operation at the concentrator stage is critical to maintaining uptime of the smelter

The smelter smelts the copper concentrate mixed with silica in the Isasmelt furnace The product from the ISA furnace is matte and slag which goes to the Matte Settling Electric Furnace Slag is tapped out and discarded Matte is tapped out and taken to the PS converters for further processing to blister copper

Copper ore is processed at the onsite concentrator and trucked to Mount Isa Mines for smelting into copper anode NEW SOUTH WALES With a mining history spanning over 140 years our CSA Mine is Australias highest grade copper mine and at 1600 metres deep it is also the second deepest underground copper mine in the country

The Mount Isa Mines MIM copper concentrator at Mount Isa processes both chalcopyrite ore from the MIM underground mine and rotary holding furnace RHF slag from the MIM copper smelter There have been numerous changes to the processing practices since commissioning this concentrator in 1973

Mount Isa Mines is one of Australia’s oldest largest and most complex mining operations It is the second largest producer of copper in Australia and a key asset in Glencore’s global mining portfolio Mount Isa Mines location and roster offers an attractive lifestyle option

Mount Isa Minas specified the metallurgical design parameters and then handed over full responsibility for detailed design procurement and construction to Fluor Fluor performed design engineering procurement and construction on the silver lead zinc concentrator at Mount

The Mount Isa Mines Copper Concentrator realized significant improvements under Marvin’s leadership including improvements to the plant’s milling rate recovery and concentrate grade as well as operational improvements to the mine’s hyperbaric filter plant paste fill plant and the wet fill plant

Jan 14 2019 · Since commissioning in late 2015 the operation of the new circuit has improved both the grade of the concentrate and the recovery of the copper concentrator at Mount Isa In parallel with several other process improvement initiatives overall copper recovery has increased by 077 per cent since the new Jameson Cells were installed and residence time in the cleaner circuit has been reduced by 70

Figure 4 gives an overview of a typical beneficiation process at a concentrator In the first flotation stage as much copper as possible is recovered in a rougher concentrate so that as little as possible goes to the tailings To increase the copper recovery rate often these tailings are leached with sulfuric acid

Superintendent of Electrical Maintenance for the Copper Concentrator Monica Joseph has had five of her team undertake the training “This program is certainly delivering the benefits we are looking for with minimum interruption to our operations” Monica said Award winning training

Handling guide for copper concentrate in bulk Although copper occurs naturally in a pure state it’s primarily mined from the minerals chalcopyrite bornite and malachite Copper ore is extracted form the earth then converted into copper concentrate which is then roasted smelted and converted into refined copper

The Osborne coppergold mine is located 195km south east of Mount Isa in Queensland Australia Run as a flyin flyout operation for its 180 staff the mine was formerly wholly owned by Placer Dome Inc In early 2006 Barrick Gold Corp acquired Placer Dome in a US104bn takeover and now wholly owns the Osborne operation

Mining and processing of ore from Capricorn copper mine The concentrator comprises a single toggle jaw crusher feeding a coarse ore stockpile and a comminution circuit consisting of a closed semiautogenous grinding SAG and ball mills paired with a hydrocyclone cluster

MIM had been operating a lead–zinc concentrator at Mount Isa since 1931 although lead–zinc ore was substituted with copper ore for a time between mid1943 and mid1946 Over time the lead zinc and other mineral grains in the ore became progressively finer the ore grade decreased and it became more difficult to treat 28
