This allows an increase in the plant feed rate without economically compromising recovery. Interested in taking its pre-concentration concepts underground, in 2004 Gekko applied for and received a $1.2-million research grant to develop an underground mineral processing system.

The Python shrinks a conventional processing plant to a size that can be operated underground and close to the deposit, or above ground with a marked reduction in equipment footprint. The objective is to enable the bulk of the ore to be processed underground so that waste transportation and treatment costs are reduced while only a …

The Python underground processing plant has been designed to be towed down the decline or lowered down a shaft, and is capable of being installed in sloping, non-linear drives for placement close to the working face. ...

Gekko's Python charges ahead with underground processing. Posted by Daniel Gleeson on 21st March 2018. After the successful on-time delivery of two 55 t/h modular Python crushing and gravity plants to TMAC Resources' Hope Bay mine in Northern Canada in 2016/17, Gekko has progressed in developing a new 30 t/h …

The Python processing plants have been designed to treat 20 or 50 tons per hour of ore to a particle size of approximately 500pm and recover gold and sulfides into the concentrate.

The first comminution stage in a mineral processing plant is crushing, which reduces the size of particles from up to 1 m down to 0.5 cm (depending on the type of milling circuit). Crushing is typically a dry process that makes use of Gyratory, Jaw, and Cone crushers (Napier-Munn et al., 1996), which predominantly make use of impact …

step-change benefits. Processing, both currently and traditionally, has been a function that takes place on the surface in the vast majority of cases, with preludes into processing underground remaining at crushing only. This paper examines the benefits of underground processing as a viable, game changing and sustainable

Grinding is a large part of the total operating cost for any mineral processing plant. The grinding circuit for a typical copper concentrator makes up 47% of the total cost per ton . Controlling the mill circuits completely by using intelligence-based data-driven frameworks can significantly optimize the process because a slight …

Probably the first reported underground gravity gold processing plant was operated between 1991 and 1999 by Welsh Gold PLC at their Gwynfynydd gold mine in north Wales, United Kingdom.

The Python is a modular, transportable processing plant for use on surface or in underground drifts with little to no additional excavation (Hughes, 2008). The plant is …

A modular, transportable processing plant has been designed that is capable of being installed in underground drives/drifts or on the surface. The Python processing plants have been designed to treat 20 or 50 tons per hour of ore to a particle size of approximately 500 μm and recover gold and sulfides into the concentrate.

Underground processing plants have advantages related to a low environmental footprint, reduced mining costs, improved security and increased value of the product delivered to surface. This paper presents a case study of the world‟s first operational underground gravity gold plant at the former Gwynfynydd mine and innovation leading …
