Gold Extraction & Recovery Processes
Generally, comminution circuits need time to be understood, and time is variable. The cost benefit of time and relative production losses or gains has to be worked out. Crushing circuit without circulating load. The processing of gold ores has traditionally made use of conventional crushing and grinding circuits.

Gold processing 101
At current gold prices this is worth about US$600. Both smelter treatment charges and oxidation or bio-leach costs are at least $200/t of concentrate and payables/recovery in the 90% range, so a minimum GSR for effective downstream processing is around 0.5. Clearly this is a function of gold price, but in the current gold …
