Grinding refractory gold ores to below 20 microns and finer, whilst liberating more gold, also liberates many other mineral species which affect the oxidative and cyanide downstream process. In many cases when only ultra fine grinding is used a maximum recovery is reached and grinding finer actually reduces the precious metal recovery.

A "refractory" gold ore is an ore that has ultra fine gold particles disseminated throughout its gold occluded minerals. These ores are naturally resistant to recovery by standard cyanidation and carbon adsorption processes. These refractory ores require pre-treatment in order for cyanidation to be effective in recovery of the gold.

Ultra fine milling for the recovery of refractory gold . If the encapsulated gold is coarser in size, ranging say, from 1 or 2 microns to approximately 20 microns, then liberation can also be achieved by ultra fine milling (UFM).

Since early 2001, Kalgoorlie Consolidated Gold Mines (KCGM) has successfully operated an ultra fine grinding (UFG) circuit to supplement its roaster capacity for the treatment of the refractory gold flotation concentrate. A second UFG mill was installed in 2002 taking the total UFG capacity to over 20tph while grinding to 11-12 microns and achieving over 90% gold recovery.

Ultra fine grinding of the plant tailings of a refractory silver ore was studied using a laboratory type vertical stirred media mill. Preliminary tests confirmed that ultra fine grinding substantially improves the extraction of silver from the tailings in cyanide leaching (i.e. 36% Ag extraction rate from the as-received tailings with d 80 of 100 μm, c.f. 84% extraction rate after ultra fine ...

The primary grind size was increased and ultra-fine grinding of flotation concentrate installed to improve gold recovery from flotation concentrate in the subsequent CIL circuit. 2. In late 1999, a further expansion of the plant was undertaken with the addition of a ball mill (ML350) to reduce the primary grind size and allow a further increase ...
