The ore sample used contained 2.03% Cu, 0.15% Co, and 3.73% S. The valuable minerals present were chrysocolla, chalcopyrite, and native copper. The gangue comprised pyrite, carbonate, calcite, and clay minerals. The ore (of a size up to −149 μm) was beneficiated using the sulphidisation and xanthate flotation method.
