SA’s GoldStone says pursuing number of exploration projects

August 25, 2009

JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Minerals exploration company GoldStone Resources was pursuing a number of projects, in various stages of development, in Ghana, Kenya, South Africa and Tanzania, in addition to its potential mining prospects in West Africa and India, it said on Monday.

Reporting on its financial results for the year ended February 28, 2009, the Aim-listed company noted that it was planning to negotiate with one of its largest shareholders, GeoQuest, regarding the potential divestment of its interest in GoldStone.

GoldStone had, in June 2008, announced that it planned to acquire a 100% stake in the DR3-East Uranium project, in South Africa’s Western Cape province, from Hymrai Properties.

This was, however, subject to the exploration company getting approval from South Africa’s former Department of Minerals and Energy (DME), as well as a listing on the AltX.

The transaction was only approved by the DME in April this year, which made it necessary for GoldStone to make additional representations to the advisory committee of the JSE, it explained.

As there was no certainty that the AltX would grant the company the required approvals, it had decided not to pursue the listing, which meant that the acquisition agreement with Hymrai would lapse.

Any future acquisition by GoldStone of an interest in the project, or any other project in the Southern African Development Community, would require GeoQuest to divest its interest in the company or require GoldStone to list on the JSE, the company stated.

Meanwhile, the company reported that it had applied for eleven prospecting licences that formed part of its bauxite exploration project, in Guyana, in South America.

The Guyana Geology and Mines Commission had already approved the granting of eight of the prospecting licences, it added.

The company had also continued its exploration work on a number of potential gold prospects in Mali, Senegal and India.

It was expecting a prospecting permit for the Sangola licence, in Senegal, to be granted shortly, while a licence application was also under way in India.


China iron-ore prices fall to $95/t on demand drop

August 25, 2009

SHANGHAI – Benchmark iron-ore prices in China fell to $95/t on Monday, easing 17% from its nearly one-year peak of $115 in early August, as traders said many Chinese steel mills stopped buying ore for future delivery.

Indian ore of 63/63,5 percent iron content for future delivery was quoted at $95-98 a ton, including freight costs, while ores for immediate delivery were bid at about 780 yuan ($114) a ton, industry consultancy Mysteel said on Monday.

Many steel mills in the largest producing country had been purchasing only ores for immediate delivery for at least one week due to the rising uncertainties in the steel market, which has weakened since early August, iron-ore traders said.

“Everybody knows the Chinese market is a volatile market, so steel mills bought a lot when the steel market was booming and suspended purchasing as the market is fading,” a Shanghai-based steel trader said on Monday.

“We should not underestimate the momentum. India iron ore prices are likely to fall to $90 tomorrow as some sellers are impatient now,” said the trader, who works for a major private-sector iron ore trading firm.

Another trader predicted that iron ore prices in China would fall further, since many merchants had built up stockpiles when prices were hovering near $80/t.

Iron ore prices in Chinese domestic markets have been following steel prices closely for months, partly because Chinese steel mills are setting up the volumes of iron-ore purchases with their production schemes and cash positions, which are correlated with steel prices.

The surge of the iron ore prices in the Chinese market, which started in early July, was also triggered by the Chinese government’s detention of four Shanghai-based employees of Australian miner Rio Tinto on allegations of illegally obtaining commercial secrets and bribery.

China claimed a small victory after it reached a slightly cheaper iron ore price with Australian miner Fortescue this week, but talks with major iron-ore suppliers Rio, BHP Billiton and Vale are still deadlocked.

The China Iron and Steel Association (CISA), the industry group and the de facto negotiator represents Chinese steel mills in the price talks, have said excess imports was a hindrance in talks. However, a report by the China Business Journal said on Saturday that some industry experts and steel mill officials had urged the central government to replace some CISA’s executives who are leading the iron ore negotiations.

They criticised CISA for its “foolhardiness” and lack of wisdom in the negotiations, and for missing several chances to settle the price due to its insistence on a 40% price cut, according to the Chinese-language newspaper.


Construction Aggregate Processing

March 13, 2009

The construction aggregate industry covers a range of subclassifications of the nonmetallic minerals industry. Many operations and processes are common to both groups, including mineral extraction from the earth, loading, unloading, conveying, crushing, screening, and loadout. Other operations are restricted to specific subcategories. These include wet and dry fine milling or grinding, air classification, drying, calcining, mixing, and bagging. The latter group of operations is not generally associated with the construction aggregate industry but can be conducted on the same raw materials used to produce aggregate. Two examples are processing of limestone and sandstone. Both substances can be used as construction materials and may be processed further for other uses at the same location. Limestone is a common source of construction aggregate, but it can be further milled and classified to produce agricultural limestone. Sandstone can be processed into construction sand and also can be wet and/or dry milled, dried, and air classified into industrial sand.

The construction aggregate industry can be categorized by source, mineral type or form, wet versus dry, washed or unwashed, and end uses, to name but a few. The industry is divided in this document into section Sand And Gravel Processing, and Section Crushed Stone Processing.

Uncontrolled construction aggregate processing can produce nuisance problems and can have an effect upon attainment of ambient particulate standards. However, the generally large particles produced often can be controlled readily. Some of the individual operations such as wet crushing and grinding, washing, screening, and dredging take place with “high” moisture (more than about 1.5 to 4.0 weight percent). Such wet processes do not generate appreciable particulate emissions.


Pulverized Mineral Processing

March 13, 2009

Pulverized minerals are produced at specialized processing plants. These plants supply mineral products ranging from sizes of approximately 1 micrometer to more than 75 micrometers aerodynamic diameter. Pharmaceutical, paint, plastics, pigment, rubber, and chemical industries use these products. Due to the specialized characteristics of the mineral products and the markets for these products, pulverized mineral processing plants have production rates that are less than 5% of the production capacities of conventional crushed stone plants. There are two alternative processing systems for pulverized minerals.

In dry processing systems, the mineral aggregate material from conventional crushing and screening operations is subject to coarse and fine grinding primarily in roller mills and/or ball mills to reduce the material to the necessary product size range. A classifier is used to size the ground material and return oversized material that can be pulverized using either wet or dry processes. The classifier can either be associated with the grinding operation, or it can be a stand alone process unit. Fabric filters control particulate matter emissions from the grinding operation and the classifier. The products are stored in silos and are shipped by truck or in bags.

In wet processing systems, the mineral aggregate material is processed in wet mode coarse and fine grinding operations. Beneficiation processes use flotation to separate mineral impurities. Finely ground material is concentrated and flash dried. Fabric filters are used to control particulate matter emissions from the flash dryer. The product is then stored in silos, bagged, and shipped.

Crushed Stone Processing

March 13, 2009

Major rock types processed by the crushed stone industry include limestone, granite, dolomite, traprock, sandstone, quartz, and quartzite. Minor types include calcareous marl, marble, shell, and slate. Major mineral types processed by the pulverized minerals industry, a subset of the crushed stone processing industry, include calcium carbonate, talc, and barite. Industry classifications vary considerably and, in many cases, do not reflect actual geological definitions.

Rock and crushed stone products generally are loosened by drilling and blasting and then are loaded by power shovel or front-end loader into large haul trucks that transport the material to the processing operations. Techniques used for extraction vary with the nature and location of the deposit. Processing operations may include crushing, screening, size classification, material handling and storage operations.

Quarried stone normally is delivered to the processing plant by truck and is dumped into a bin. A feeder is used as illustrated. The feeder or screens separate large boulders from finer rocks that do not require primary crushing, thus reducing the load to the primary crusher. Jaw, impactor, or gyratory crushers are usually used for initial reduction. The crusher product, normally 7.5 to 30 centimeters (3 to 12 inches) in diameter, and the grizzly throughs (undersize material) are discharged onto a belt conveyor and usually are conveyed to a surge pile for temporary storage or are sold as coarse aggregates.

The stone from the surge pile is conveyed to a vibrating inclined screen called the scalping screen. This unit separates oversized rock from the smaller stone. The undersized material from the scalping screen is considered to be a product stream and is transported to a storage pile and sold as base material. The stone that is too large to pass through the top deck of the scalping screen is processed in the secondary crusher. Cone crushers are commonly used for secondary crushing (although impact crushers are sometimes used), whic h typically reduces material to about 2.5 to 10 centimeters (1 to 4 inches). The material (throughs) from the second level of the screen bypasses the secondary crusher because it is sufficiently small for the last crushing step. The output from the secondary crusher and the throughs from the secondary screen are transported by conveyor to the tertiary circuit, which includes a sizing screen and a tertiary crusher.

Tertiary crushing is usually performed using cone crushers or other types of impactor crushers. Oversize material from the top deck of the sizing screen is fed to the tertiary crusher. The tertiary crusher output, which is typically about 0.50 to 2.5 centimeters (3/16th to 1 inch), is returned to the sizing screen. Various product streams with different size gradations are separated in the screening operation. The products are conveyed or trucked directly to finished product bins, to open area stock piles, or to other processing systems such as washing, air separators, and screens and classifiers (for the production of manufactured sand).
