Show New Technique May Treat Low-Grade Ore A new trend In ore treatment Is apparent daily as necessity arises for sulphuric acid treatment of uranium. Predictions are freely offered In mining circles that leaching plants will arise near the Plateau area. Iron pyrites, heretofore regarded worthless, may be profitably utilized for sulphric acid production. The Utah mining area has an abundance of iron pyrites. Their profitable ase could forcast revival of mining activities on jm expanding basis. Mining authorities now predict one mining element will supplement other metal elements, and iron pyrites may be utilized as a base for sulphuric acid needed la processing of uranium ores. The nest step In uranium is milling, whereby vast quantities of what is now te-mcd low grade ore. will become commercial and profitable. |
