摘要

The Ernest Henry Mine (EHM) is situated 38 km north-east of Cloncurry in the Mount Isa –rnCloncurry mineral district of northwest Queensland. The EHM orebody is an iron oxide copperrngold deposit with an average grade of one per cent copper, 0.5 g/t gold and 23 per cent magnetite,rnwith current reserves of approximately 88 Mt.rnThe copper concentrator is a single line plant with a nominal throughput rate of 1300 tonnesrnper hour. An average of 350 000 tonnes of concentrate is produced each year containing aroundrn100 000 tonnes of copper metal and 120 000 troy ounces of gold.rnIn December 2009, Xstrata Copper announced approval of a $589 M investment to extend thernlife of EHM to at least 2024, through the transformation of open pit mining operations to a majorrnunderground mine together with the construction of an associated magnetite extraction plant.rnThe EHM magnetite plant extracts the magnetite from the copper concentrator's tailings stream.rnIt will produce approximately 1.2 Mt of magnetite concentrate per annum at full capacity forrnexport to Asia, making EHM Queensland's fi rst iron ore concentrate exporter. Construction of thernmagnetite extraction plant commenced in July 2010 and was completed in January 2011.rnThis paper gives an overview of the development of the EHM magnetite extraction plant fl owrnsheet from the early mineralogy and laboratory test work through to the plant commissioning andrnearly operation of the base plant. It has a major focus on the commissioning learnings from thernplant start-up and includes a review of the operational performance of the plant versus originalrndesign and expectations.
