Leaching metal ... for all it's worth
Article Abstract:
Three acid-pressure-leaching plants for processing nickel have started operations in Western Australia. These include Anaconda Nickel Ltd's Murrin Murrin plant, Centaur Mining and Exploration Ltd's Cawse plant and Preston Resources Ltd's Bulong plant. The three companies expect capital and operating costs to be 75% lower than other nickel producers employing conventional technology such as smelting.
