The bulk sample was crushed to a topsize of 3 mm, blended, riffled and split using a rotary splitter into 3 kg samples prior to batch flotation tests. Batch flotation tests were conducted in a modified 8L Leeds flotation cell using the standard procedure as outlined in Wiese et al. (2005) at a grind of 80% passing 75 lm.

Flotation of gold and gold-bearing ores
Pyrrhotite floats best in acid circuits. The pH range for flotation for gold sulfide ores containing pyrite and arsenopyrite is generally between 7 and 9. Flotation may be carried out at higher pH values of 9 to 10, since this favours the depression of talc minerals and avoids the use of expensive gangue depressants.

The conventional amines used in the reverse flotation of iron ore (e.g., etheramine) are cationic collectors, meaning that when in water they adopt a positive charge and adsorb to negatively charged silicate gangue minerals by electrostatic forces to promote their flotation (Filippov et al., 2014, Nakhaei and Irannajad, 2017).

Froth Flotation and Gold Extraction
First, refractory gold ore is ground as finely as possible – usually so the individual grains are much less that 100 micrometers. The ground up ore is mixed with water to create a slurry, which is mixed with surfactants to increase the gold's hydrophobicity. This mixture is placed into a tank or flotation cell filled with distilled water.
