复杂微细浸染型金矿床形态确定技术研究

由于微细浸染型金矿床普遍具有矿体赋存形态复杂、矿体与围岩界线不明显这一特点,使得该类型的矿山在开发的过程中面临开采损失贫化难以控制、采矿效率低等问题。在贵州省安龙县戈塘金矿对该类型的金矿床进行物探勘探研究,物探方法采用现阶段已发展得比较成熟的高密度电法。高密度电法具有观测工作简单、功效高、采集信息量大等特点,能勘探出地下岩层的地质构造、地质灾害等信息。本次利用高密度电法在已知矿体上进行物探勘探工作,利用矿山已有资料验证该方法的可行性,也证明了该方法在确定微细浸染型金矿形态技术中并不适用。     

New insights into the extraction of invisible gold in a low-grade high-sulfur Carlin-type gold concentrate by bio-pretreatment

To extract gold from a low-grade (13.43 g/t) and high-sulfur (39.94wt% sulfide sulfur) Carlin-type gold concentrate from the Nibao deposit, Guizhou, a bio-pretreatment followed by carbon-in-pulp (CIP) cyanide leaching process was used. Various methods were used to detect the low-grade gold in the concentrate; however, only time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) was successful. With bio-pretreatment, the gold recovery rate increased by approximately 70.16% compared with that obtained by direct cyanide leaching of the concentrate. Various attempts were made to increase the final gold recovery rate. However, approximately 20wt% of the gold was non-extractable. To determine the nature of this non-extractable gold, mineralogy liberation analysis (MLA), formation of secondary product during the bio-pretreatment, and the preg-robbing capacity of the carbonaceous matter in the ore were investigated. The results indicated that at least four factors affected the gold recovery rate:gold occurrence, tight junctions of gold-bearing pyrite with gangue minerals, jarosite coating of the ore, and the carbonaceous matter content.     

Dating of sediment-hosted disseminated-type gold deposit by using ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar laser probe: A case study of Changkeng large-scale gold deposit, China

Ore-forming age is one of the most important data in studying the genesis of mineral deposits. Dating of sedi-ment-hosted disseminated-type gold deposits, which areone of the most important types of gold deposits in theworld, is always a difficult task for ore geologists. Themajor reason is that most of the ores in this type deposit are of various siliceous and are composed of extremely fine-grained minerals, thus it will be very difficult to de-termine their ages by using conventional isotopi…
