LABORATORY TESTING

We test JinChan on your ore

Before industrial application, suitable leaching conditions must be determined on a representative sample of the specific ore. The result depends on mineralogical composition, degree of grinding, gold, copper, arsenic and sulfur content, and other components.

PUBLISHED RESEARCH

JinChan results on different ore types

Leaching performance depends on mineralogical composition, degree of grinding, reagent consumption, pH, time and other parameters. Below are results from selected published JinChan studies on specific ores.

The results apply only to the tested samples and test conditions and do not guarantee similar recovery on another ore.

  • Grinding: −0.044 mm
  • JinChan: 6 kg/t
  • Time: 24 h

In a separate NaCN test, 90% Au and 88.36% Ag were obtained at a consumption of 1.4 kg/t and a duration of 36 h.

These parameters apply only to the conditions of the published study and are not a universal JinChan operating regime.

On the ore studied, JinChan showed slower kinetics: about 48 h were required to reach the target recovery of approximately 97%, while NaCN reached a comparable level in 24 h.

This conclusion applies to the ore and conditions examined in this conference study.
