New Process For Handling Ores Aims To Pay More
Phoenix April 17 Charles F Will director of the Arizona bureau of mine states a new ore processing method dissolves the long quarrel over complex ores. The process allows payment for nearly all values in ores containing copper zinc vanadium tungsten and antimony, reducing need to separate individual metals. Los Angeles plant now demonstrates paying for most metals in ore while other metals lower in value are also credited. Opened markets in Nevada and California claim ore buyers will pay for mixed metals previously unsellable. The invention could boost Arizona mining by expanding saleable ore and lowering processing costs.
