Institute TOMS accomplished the geo-metallurgical mapping of Vernenskoye deposit ores
Institute TOMS accomplished the geo-metallurgical mapping of Vernenskoye deposit ores to be mined in 2020-2030 years. Based on this mapping a pilot geo-metallurgical block model was developed allowing for operational analytical relationships between process recovery values and physical-mechanical properties of the ores, on the one hand, and material characteristics of chemical and mineral compositions, on the other hand.
The gold deposit Vernenskoye occurs in the central and the most developed area of Bodaibo District of Irkutsk Region where its main infrastructure, many active placer and several ore deposits are located.
