Antimony, a toxic metalloid similar to arsenic, is present at variable levels in most gold-bearing rocks. Antimony is soluble in the surface environment, so antimony (Sb) mobilization in mine waters is an environmental issue around gold mines. The Reefton gold mine was originally developed in gold-bearing quartz veins; Sb …

by Clark Corbin, Idaho Capital Sun September 6, 2024. The U.S. Forest Service issued a draft record of decision Friday authorizing a gold mining company to resume operations at Stibnite Mine in Central Idaho's Payette National Forest, a proposal that would become one of the largest gold, silver and antimony mines in the United …
Where gold is associated with arsenic, antimony, tellurium, and certain other minerals, it is often only partly soluble in cyanide solution. The difficulty is usually more of a physical than a chemical one but special methods of treatment may be required.

The Stibnite Gold Project is designed to restore the legacy environmental conditions at the abandoned mine site while responsibly redeveloping one of the highest-grade, open pit gold resources in ...
"Unlike lower-grade antimony often associated with larger gold systems, the high-grade antimony at Treasure Creek – exemplified by the Scrafford Antimony Mine, with historical production grades up to 58% Sb (the periodic table symbol for antimony) – presents a unique opportunity for stand-alone antimony production," Webb added.
The raw material, antimonial refractory gold ore, was provided by the Jinchiling Gold Mine (Zhaojin Mining Industry Co., Ltd., Shandong Province, China). ...

The company planning to resurrect gold and antimony mining in Valley County's historic Stibnite district could get most of its operation start-up costs covered by financing from the government-backed Export-Import Bank (EXIM).. Perpetua Resources announced it received a "letter of interest" from the bank through its "Make More in …
The association of gold and antimony in many ores provides additional complications in the gold extraction process. Improvements in mineralogical identification and understanding of the chemistry of the cyanidation process with antimony present are leading to improved treatment processes for antimonial gold ores.

Antimony metallurgy is the technology that extracts antimony metal from antimony ores or produces antimony compounds. Antimony was discovered in the ancient time, and its name was derived from antimonite. In 1604, a process was invented to extract antimony and antimony sulfide as described by B. Valentine of Germany.
(e.g., mine tailings, process residues, manufacturing scrap) from the production of lead, copper, gold, and antimony [7]. The large production volumes, especially for copper and lead, mean that these residues have the potential to replace a large portion of the primary antimony production [7]. Secondary antimony sources also include end-of-life
This process contains multiple steps including desulfurization in the fluid-bed roaster, sintering after burden, reduction smelting of calcine with coal in a BF to produce a lead-antimony alloy, …
To avoid the adverse effects of antimony on the cyanide leaching process used for the recovery of gold from refractory gold ore, a cleaner production process was proposed that would selectively remove antimony as sodium pyroantimonate. The process included three steps: 1) leaching of antimony from the refractory gold ore with sodium …

1. Introduction. Antimony is a hard, lustrous, silvery-grey metal. Antimony is unevenly distributed throughout the crust of the Earth, with China (32%), Russia (23%) and Bolivia (21%) as the top three countries in terms of their antimony reserves (Ding et al., 2021).It is extremely difficult to beneficiate antimony since the average abundance of …
