A research report details laboratory test results for reprocessing tailings from the Faro Down Valley ponds in Yukon. The program, co-funded by the Government of Yukon, involved Canmet, Lakefield Research, Normet, and Curragh Inc. Tests produced a marketable bulk concentrate with 50% lead plus zinc content and a 58% zinc recovery.
Use Cases
- Evaluate the economic viability of tailings reprocessing based on reported concentrate grade and recovery rates
- Assess environmental remediation strategies based on the program's goal to eliminate an environmental liability
- Research metallurgical processing techniques based on the use of proven new technology and current reagents
- Analyze job creation potential from resource recovery projects based on the program's stated objectives
Strengths
- Report includes specific metallurgical results: a 50% lead plus zinc concentrate and 58% zinc recovery
- Program involved multiple reputable research organizations: Canmet, Lakefield Research, Normet, and Curragh Inc.
- Report is associated with a government-funded program under the Canada/Yukon Economic Development Agreement
