G-cell cleaner plant installation at Barbrook
Barbrook Gold Mine is 100% owned by Caledonia Mining Corporation
The gold mineralization at Barbrook is complex the gold is generally extremely fine grained, associated with refractory minerals such as pyrite and arsenopyrite and contains significant concentrations of preg-robbing organic carbon
The G-Cells are operated in closed circuit, with the tails from the second G-Cell reporting to the first G-Cell and the tails from the first cell reporting back to the flotation feed. Each G-Cell gives a two times upgrade; rougher concentrate at 10g/t Au is upgraded to 20g/t Au in the first G-Cell and then further to 40g/t Au in the second G-Cell. Overall mass recoveries have dropped from 30% to 20%.
