The tests used the CESL proprietary leaching technology, including pressure oxidation of the copper concentrate followed by pressure cyanidation of the copper leach residue. Two-thirds cleaner bulk copper- molybdenum concentrates produced from the PRA test work, assaying 26.3 and 24.9% copper, were used for the testing. The preliminary tests produced high copper extractions in the range of 96 to 98%, indicating that Schaft Creek copper concentrates were amenable to the CESL process. These copper extractions were achieved at 15 to 30 minutes of retention time as compared to a typical requirement of 60 min normally required for a chalcopyrite concentrate. Pressure cyanidation tests extracted between 89 and 92% of the gold and between 81 and 88% of the silver from the copper leach residue. Sodium cyanide consumption was approximately 3 kg/t due to the high thiocyanate and other metal cyanate compounds formed.
