Far West Gold Recoveries Cu Elution Project

Cu Elution Design & Supply, Carletonville

FWGR retreat a number of old tailings storage facilities for extra gold recovery. FWGR experience high copper loading on loaded carbon harvested from its CIL circuit. Excess copper contaminate the final gold bullion. The Cu Elution circuit is sized to elute 4 off, 4.5 tonne loaded carbon batches per day. The Cu Elution-circuit removes excess copper from the loaded carbon prior to it being sent for gold recovery.
