At Lundin Gold’s Fruta del Norte operation, changes to the flotation circuit are reshaping how fine gold is recovered. The introduction of Glencore Technology’s Jameson Cell has helped the concentrator capture material that was previously lost, while supporting higher throughput and more efficient processing.
As production targets increased, the site focused on easing constraints within the flotation circuit and raising capacity from 4,500 tonnes per day to 5,000 tonnes per day.
During this review, metallurgical teams identified losses in the fine fraction of the ore, an area where conventional tank cells were underperforming.
To address this challenge, Lundin Gold worked with Glencore Technology, drawing on its experience in fines recovery.
