Applied Mineralogy and Mineral Processing of the Disseminated Cu-Ni-PGE Ore from the Keivitsa Deposit
ABSTRACT. Disseminated sulphide ore samples in drill core from the Keivitsa Ni-Cu-PGE deposits, Sodankylä, Northern Finland, were studied mineralogically and mineral processing tests were made. The disseminated ore tends to be fine-grained (74 % within the size range 250-2500 μm) and consists of tro...
