Flotation kinetics of a pyritic gold ore
The sample studied was an auriferous ore originating from the Barry Region in North-Western Quebec, Canada. Basic characterization work undertaken on samples from this ore deposit (Lariviere, 1997) indicated that gold mineralization occurs within albite-carbonate-quartz veins and the surrounding carbonate-quartz-pyrite and locally …
