Copper Concentrate
| tonne | An intermediary product resulting from ore beneficiation. It contains less waste and a higher concentration of copper, compared to ore. In many mining operations ore is concentrated in a concentrator or mill on the surface, then shipped to a smelter, whose product is then sent on to a refinery for the recovery of the metal or mineral content by eliminating impurities. |
|
Zinc Concentrate
| tonne | An intermediary product resulting from ore beneficiation. It contains less waste and a higher concentration of zinc, compared to ore. In many mining operations ore is concentrated in a concentrator or mill on the surface, then shipped to a smelter, whose product is then sent on to a refinery for the recovery of the metal or mineral content by eliminating impurities. |
|
Lead Concentrate
| tonne | An intermediary product resulting from ore beneficiation. It contains less waste and a higher concentration of copper, compared to ore. In many mining operations ore is concentrated in a concentrator or mill on the surface, then shipped to a smelter, whose product is then sent on to a refinery for the recovery of the metal or mineral content by eliminating impurities. |
|
Aluminium Plant Nameplate Capacity
| kt | Capacity is the sum of producing, idled, committed and probable production. It excludes possible and concept. |
|
Deposit 1
| | The occurrence of metals or minerals within a rock sequence that may potentially constitute ore. |
|
Sulphide Ore
| tonne | Ore refers to a mixture of minerals and gangue from which at least one of the minerals (or materials) and/or its constituent(s) can be extracted at a profit. Sulphide ores refers to various minerals which contain sulphur. |
|
Total Open Pit Material Mined
| tonne | The tonnage of material mined from the open pit. This includes material that constitutes ore and material treated as waste. |
|
Total Underground material Mined
| tonne | Total tonnage of material extracted from the underground mine. |
|
Total Open Pit Material Mined
| Mm³ | Total Open Pit Material Mined is the volume of material mined at the site's surface pit consisting of ROM Coal and Overburden / Waste. |
|
Total Underground Material Mined
| Mt | Total Undeground Material Mined is the volume of material mined at the site's Undeground pit consisting of ROM Coal and Overburden / Waste. |
|
Lead Zinc Bulk Concentrate
| tonne | An intermediary product resulting from ore beneficiation. It contains less waste and a higher concentration of valuable metals, compared to ore. In many mining operations ore is concentrated in a concentrator or mill on the surface, then shipped to a smelter, whose product is then sent on to a refinery for the recovery of the metal or mineral content by eliminating impurities. |
|
Run-of-Mine (ROM) Ore (wet)
| Mt | Run-of-Mine (ROM) Ore is the total volume of crude ore mined at the site. |
|
Saleable Product (wet)
| Mt | Saleable Product is the amount of iron ore produced by the site that is available for sale. |
|
Nickel Concentrate
| tonne | An intermediary product resulting from ore beneficiation. It contains less waste and a higher concentration of valuable metals, compared to ore. In many mining operations ore is concentrated in a concentrator or mill on the surface, then shipped to a smelter, whose product is then sent on to a refinery for the recovery of the metal or mineral content by eliminating impurities. |
|
Concentration Recovery
| | The recovery of valuable metals from the concentration process. |
|
Gold Concentrate
| tonne | An intermediary product resulting from ore beneficiation. It contains less waste and a higher concentration of gold, compared to ore. In many mining operations ore is concentrated in a concentrator or mill on the surface, then sent on to a refinery for the recovery of the metal or mineral content by eliminating impurities. |
|
Oxide Ore
| tonne | Ore refers to a mixture of minerals and gangue from which at least one of the minerals (or materials) and/or its constituent(s) can be extracted at a profit. Oxide ores refer mineralised rock in which some of the original minerals have been oxidised. |
|
Refined Zinc
| tonne | A finished product containing at least 99.9% pure zinc. Its primary first use is as a galvanising agent to protect steel from corrosion. |
|
Ni Laterite Ore (Saprolite)
| tonne | The tonnage of nickel laterite ore mined from the mineral deposit. Ore refers to a mixture of minerals and gangue from which at least one of the minerals (or materials) and/or its constituent(s) can be extracted at a profit. It includes the moisture content of the ore, i.e. is the wet tonnage. Saprolite is a type of laterite ore, typically grading between 1-3% nickel and is generally of higher grade than Limonite ore. |
|
Nickel Intermediate
| tonne | An intermediary product resulting from ore beneficiation. It contains less waste and a higher concentration of nickel, compared to ore. |
