I am looking into a project that has substantial waste stockpiles expected to have moderate concentrations of Nickel, Copper, Ag and Cobalt.
They are mostly interested in the Nickel/Cobalt and more than likely not looking to make final metal/cathode rather to upgrade the ore for mine gate sale of the concentrate.
I am thinking that the majority of the target minerals are around 3+ SG and DMS might be a promising approach to upgrading/preconcentrating the ore.
Whenever I search for Nickel/Cobalt pre-concentration it is filled with flotation, but very little on gravity/DMS.
Wondering if anyone out there has some knowledge about this approach and/or reference materials.
