Read MoreFigure 1. Schematic diagram of Musselwhite Mine grinding and leaching circuit The presence of pyrrhotite in gold ores is known to have a negative impact on the dissolution of gold and on the consumption of cyanide. This report presents the results of a cyanidation study on a sample containing pyrrhotite as the only cyanicide.

Read MoreThe effect of pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, realgar and arsenopyrite on gold dissolution in cyanide media was investigated. The cyanidation of synthetic gold ores in the presence of various concentrations of sulfides was studied under constant experimental conditions. A mineralogical analysis of the minerals was performed. The leaching kinetics were determined.
Read MoreThe mineralization at Musselwhite can be classified as an Iron Formation hosted gold deposit. Typically, gold in these deposits occurs in cross-cutting quartz veins and veinlets or as fine disseminations associated with pyrite, pyrrhotite, and arsenopyrite hosted in iron formations and adjacent rocks within volcanic or sedimentary sequences (McMillan 1996).
