copper SX plant in the world, commissioned in 1974. Despite the equipment design now being outdated, this plant still continues to operate successfully, indicating the versatility and adaptability of this technology. Today, there are some 75 copper SX operations worldwide with cathode production above 10 kt/a. The top ten producers currently account for about 40% of the global 4.3 Mt/a SX–EW

Ore is mined and processed at an onsite flotation processing plant capable of treating up to 24 million tonnes per annum (Mtpa). The plant currently recovers copper, gold and silver into a saleable concentrate. The primary ore is crushed and ground using Semi-Autogenous Grinding and Ball mills to a final grain size of approximately 180 microns.

Figure 1 is a generalized diagram of a conventional copper flotation plant from the point where ore first enters the circuit to the production of concentrate and tailings. To prepare ore for the flotation process, run-of-mine ore, which may contain from about 2 to 5 percent water, by weight, when mined, is

Mining produces ores with less than 1 percent copper. Concentration is accomplished at the mine sites by crushing, grinding, and flotation purification, resulting in ore with 15 to 35 percent copper. A continuous process called floatation, which uses water, various flotation chemicals, and compressed air, separates the ore into fractions. Depending upon the chemicals used, some minerals float

The mine extracts oxidised copper ore to be treated through heap leaching, solvent extraction and electrowinning. The project is owned by UK-based mining company Weatherly International. Environmental approval for the Tschudi mine was granted in April 2013 and groundbreaking was held in November 2013. Civil construction works at the mine site began in April 2014.

Very often, the plant will need to process a sulphide concentrate rather than an oxidised copper ore that is readily leached at ambient conditions. It is probably going to be using more aggressive oxidative leaching methods, for example, oxygen pressure
