In the Olympiada (Russia) refractory ores, gold is finely disseminated in pyrite, pyrrhotite, arsenopyrite, and stibnite. Biooxidation of pyrite is high acid-generating and pH control is mandatory. Relative ratios between pyrite and pyrrhotite can affect over all lime or acid requirements.
Gold in refractory arsenopyrite ores and concentrates of Siberian Region of Russia exists in the form of fine patches mainly in sulfide minerals (pyrite, arsenopyrite) and, to a lesser extent (no more than 5%) in
A diagnostic leach test can be very useful to qualitatively assess how gold occurs within the ore and the extent to which it may be refractory. Several different permutations of diagnostic leach tests depend on specific objectives, but they generally involve the sequential leaching of a gold ore sample with progressively stronger reagents, producing a qualitative assessment of the gold ...
The Pressure Oxidation facility ('POX Hub') is a cornerstone of Petropavlovsk's strategy and the principal driver of future value for the Company. The ability to process previously untreatable refractory ores, where gold is locked in sulphides, has opened a swathe of new opportunities for the Group to exploit both in the short and long term.
A partnership worth its weight in gold. Petropavlovsk is one of the five largest gold mining companies in Russia, with three operations named Malomir, Pioneer, and Albyn in Russia's Far Eastern Federal District. The company supplements traditional non-refractory production with the processing of refractory concentrate.
Russian gold miner Petropavlovsk has a new major shareholder, Uzhuralzoloto Group of Companies (UGC) – a privately owned business that ranks as one of Russia's top five gold producers.

The race is on. The industry needs to discover more economically viable means of extracting gold from refractory, low-grade ores and thereby increase reserves. Since 2012, there have been less than ten major gold deposits discovered globally. Looking at the five years prior to 2012, the number of major discoveries was nearly four times as high.
