Initial work on bacterial leaching processes to recover copper and zinc from the Normetal tailings in northwestern Quebec has been completed by Doelcam Inc.

The study, which has cost $387,000 to date, has shown that the processes to destroy cyanide consumers and extract copper and zinc values are technically feasible, Normetal Mining Exploration (ME) and La Sarre Mining Exploration (ME) report.

In preliminary tests, the companies say, it was demonstrated that 50% of the copper and 70% of the zinc can be extracted. It would not be economic, they say, to treat the whole material by bacterial leaching, but the process might have value in treating a selective copper- zinc flotation concentrate.
