plant. Run-of-mine ore at an average grade
of 0.87 g/mt gold will be crushed in a single 42-65 gyratory crusher. The grinding
circuit consists of a 10.2-m-dia, 11-MW
SAG mill operating in open circuit, with a
pebble crusher reducing oversize mill discharge. A 7.9-m-dia, 15-MW ball mill
(Europe Regional News - from p. 22)
The company has been targeting shipment
of 1.5 million mt of high-quality iron ore
concentrate during 2013 and has a goal of
reaching its design operating rate of 4 million mt/y by the third quarter of 2014.
operating in closed circuit achieves a final
grind size of 80% passing 90 µm.
Five leach and five adsorption tanks,
each of 4,050 m3 capacity, provide a total
leach and adsorption residence time of 24
hours. Acid washing and elution of loaded
carbon will be performed in separate
columns using the split Anglo American
Research Laboratories (AARL) process.
Carbon-in-leach plant discharge will
be thickened using a 34-m-dia, high-rate
thickener prior to deposition in the tailings
storage facility.
The study lists principal project infrastructure consisting of access roads, a
142-person accommodation facility, borefield, tailings storage facility, and electrical
power supply.
Northland previously announced that it
had entered into off-take contracts with
three companies for the entire production
from the Kaunisvaara project over the next
seven to ten years.
Northland got into its current financial
bind in part because it decided to fast-
track construction by foregoing basic engineering before starting work on the project.
Cost estimates were not fully verified and
proved to be too optimistic.
As of the end of December 2012, the
company had invested more than $900
million in the project.
