The Boundary Waters Wilderness Protection and Pollution Prevention Act permanently protects 234,328 acres of federal lands and waters within the Superior National Forest from risky sulfide-ore copper mining. The bill is supported by local, regional, and national advocacy groups in favor of permanently protecting these critical resources.

1. Introduction. Magmatic sulfide ore deposits are some of the world's most valuable metal accumulations, currently accounting for ∼56% of the world's nickel production (Mudd and Jowitt, 2014, Peck and Huminicki, 2016).They form by the accumulation of immiscible sulfide liquid that scavenged chalcophile elements from a …
Magmatic base metal sulfide liquid has an affinity for PGE and chalcophile elements (Ag, As, Au, Bi, Cd, Co, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Re, Sb, Se, Sn, Te and Zn) and forms magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE sulfide ore deposits (Dare et al., 2010, Naldrett, 2004). Therefore, these elements can be targeted in exploration for massive sulfide Ni-Cu-PGE deposits.

Matrix sulfide ores comprise silicate inclusions in a matrix of sulfide, the sulfide making up 30–70% of the ore (Barnes et al. Citation 2017). Disseminated sulfide ores contain between 1% and 33% sulfides dispersed in a silicate matrix, the sulfides are not interconnected and are present as patches in the silicate interstices or as globules ...

Most mined nickel derives from two types of ore deposits that form in very different geological environments: magmatic sulfide deposits, where the principal ore mineral is pentlandite [(Ni,Fe) 9 S 8], and …
A typical laterite ore may contain approximately 1–1.5% Ni with 40–50% Fe existing in the form of goethite [ (FeNi)O⋅ (OH)⋅ n H 2 O]. Laterite ores contain up to 40% of free and combined moisture, which is removed in the reduction process ( Ray et al., 2014 ). Similar to copper extraction, nickel ores are first beneficiated to produce ...
Thus, matte smelting is a concentrating step in the flow sheet of metal extraction from sulfide ores whereas reduction smelting (of oxide ores and calcines) …
1.2. Chalcopyrite Ore Production The sulfide ore minerals including chalcopyrite (CuFeS 2), sphalerite (ZnS), galena (PbS) provide the major sources of the world's base metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, respectively), whereas pyrite is virtually ubiquitous as a metalliferous mineral in sulfide ore deposits (Crang and Vanghan, 1994).The first step in …
The sheet, the most common shape in which sedimentary deposits occur, is a tabular body separated from other rocks by bedding planes. ... Sulfide ore bodies which are buried deep below the earth act as giant batteries and the constant measurement of specific conductance can help in delineating a target. This is gaining momentum in locating ...
The ore contains 1.1% sulfide sulfur, 1.1% organic carbon and 2.9% carbonate carbon on average. The limestone introduced to the process with the ore reacts with the SO2 forming gypsum. At a reactor temperature between 680° C and 720° C, SO2 concentrations of about 100 vppm were measured in the off-gas.
Sulfide residues usually represent between 80 and 98% of the weight and between 150 and 170% of the volume of the extracted ore [17], as most of the metallic ores are processed using in the ...
We identify five mutually gradational textural types: (1) pure inclusion-free massive sulfide ores; (2) sulfide matrix ore breccias, of sharp-wall, soft-wall or mixed …
Clarabelle Mill in Sudbury, Canada, a complex sulfide ore is treated to recover bulk concentrates of copper and nickel minerals. The plant treats an ore containing Cp (~4%), Pn (~4%) and Po (~20%).
10.6.6.1 Matte-slag-gas reactions in Cu-Fe-Ni sulphide ores. Sulphide ores are a major source of Cu, Ni and precious metals. A basic principle of the extraction processes is to blow air into the molten sulphide in order to oxidise (1) S, which forms a gas and (2) Fe, which forms predominantly FeO and then partitions to a slag phase which covers ...

The gold processing flow diagram is as follows: (gravity separation process) 4. Flotation-roasting-cyanidation leaching process for high-sulfide gold ore. The symbiotic relationship between gold and sulfide in high-sulfide gold ore is close, and most of the gold is wrapped in sulfide, so the gold recovery rate of direct leaching will be ...
