Mineralogy and Pretreatment of a Refractory Gold Deposit
The technological mineralogy of a gold deposit located in NorthWestern province of Zambia was carried out by using Xray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), Xray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that gold was highly dispersed in goldbearing minerals such as pyrite, arsenopyrite, and some gangues in the form of natural gold and electrum.
