Located on the Northern tip of Masbate Island (Philippines), this remote mine site has a process plant that is a conventional carbon-in-leach (CIL) facility consisting of primary crushing, SAG/Ball Mill grinding circuit with pebble crushing, leaching, absorption, elution, electrowinning and smelting gold recovery stages; and a cyanide detoxification stage for treating process plant tails before disposal in a new tailings storage facility (TSF).
Philippine Gold Processing & Refining Corp. contracted the expert services of IMR’s engineering team to assess the feasibility of taking the liner handler that was currently servicing the SAG mill and modifying it to suit the under construction Ball mill No3.
