The current primary PGMs production is derived from sulphide ores, which are the major source of base metals such as copper, nickel and gangue minerals. For instance, UG2 ore is dominated by hydrophilic chromite gangue that comprises 60–90% by volume of silicate minerals, viz., 5–30 pyroxene and 1–10% plagioclase [ 11 ].

This tank is there to allow the reagents time to become well mixed with the ore and condition it for recovery. The slurry flow then enters the feed end of the flotation cells. The slurry at this point is called the HEADS of the circuit. The mineral is then separated and flows over the overflow into a trough called a flotation cell LAUNDERER.

Copper ore usually contains about 0.5 to 2% copper that occurs in the form of disseminated and stringers. The run of mine ore is reduced from 150 mm to 25 mm size in Jaw and Cone crushers. The crushed ore is grinded in ball mills to −74 μm size. The ore is processed by froth flotation comprising rougher and scavenger cells.
