F,letorlytic capper from crude
ore by a nrooesg the cywle of which
Is only twentw tour houre; by a
.method so simple and inexpensive
ag to be within the reach of al
most any owner of a proven pros
pect; a proceag by which; re
flrte«». copper can he extracted at a
cost of not more than seven cents
t*er ound in one sinuple operation;
a process, that saves not less than
S5 per cent of the copper content
of the most refractory ores, reads
like the fairy, dream Of a super od
ttimistic prospector, does it not?
Yet auch a process has been evol
ved and just those resultg acliieved
and are being? aehelved, day by day,
in a building on Venables street in
this city, where a demonstration
plant h;ip been erected and' is now
in ooeratio<n.
The process la the discovery of
two British metallurgical engineers,
the late Mr. A. A. Loclewoad and Mr.
C. J. A. Dalziel, who ig here in
charge of the demonstration plant.
The process has been protected by
patents the world over. Tlu> pat
ents in all countries have only re
cently been completed and this is
the first announcement of the dis
covery to be mikl-o public.
Firiefly, the procepa consijjtjj first
of tl'e usual crushing antf grinding
through which ore® for any recov
pfv hi ooncentratioutreatment ar
passed. The roasting is necessary
only in ores high in sulphides.
The Lockwood-Dalziel process i
simply the leaching- &nd electroly
tic recovery method speeded up by
mechanical agitation an# other de
vices hitherto unused in the treat
ment of copper ores. The new pro
cess eliminates the necessity of fi!
teration and sedimentation which in
thr> old processes consume so much
time and add so heavily to the cost
of plant and treatment. In the
leaching processes now in vogue
the crushed ore is held in tanks
for periods eight to thirty days, af
ter which the liquor containing the
sop per In solutio-n is siphoned off
aal ctarified by tedious and expen
sive filteration, after which, 'he cop
per content of the liquid is recov
ered by the* electrolytic methf A.
T'-n big advan'nga cf the nw me
thod is its immense saving in time
and investment in plant with the cil
sequent cheapening of the cost of
treatment, which as. has be n sug
gested is such as to have a revo
lutionary effect upon the copper in
dustry of thle world.
After being roasted the or© is
mixed with a solution of sulphuric
acid and other chemicals to a mud
dy consistency. This turib liquid
is agitated in the tftnk by jets of
air th« result of which is to Keep
all the particles of ore constantly in
motion and thus continously exposed
to the action of the solvent. It is
by this action that th9 great sav
ing in time is achieved and it is in
that ample fact that the revolution-]
ary character of the process li s.
It is because of the thorough c-\pos
<5nrp of the ore particles to the
solvent that Practically the entire
copper content can be recovered'
from the ore in a cycle of
twenty four hours, instead; of from
eight to thirty days.
After tli<> sludge, the muddy so
lution, has been exposed to the
eolven* for a certain period it Is
automatically and oontinuouslj si
phoned into another tank contain
ing the electrically charged, cathodes
and anodes. By; the cunning al
chemy of electricity the invisible
copper in the solution is attracted to
the cathodes and deposited in an
ever thickening film. The copper
'bus recovered is practically 100 per
cent pure. TJhe liquid from the
electrode tank: is continuously si
phoned back to the solvent tank
and recovered on the cathodes of
the electrode tank.
The method of siphoning is it
self ingemioug and of course spec
ially designed for the work. There
are no moving parts In the tajiks
and of course 110 wear and tear
from friction.
In ores containing silver and gold
*he tunings are treated by the
usual cyanide method'. The Look
wood Dalziel yprooess is strictly a
copper recovery One., The re
covery runs wedl aborve 85 per cent
of ths copper content of the ore.
Probably the most valuable factor
in this process, aside from ltg ec
onomy of operation and the
reduced cost of treatment 'a the
facility with which It will treat re
factory ores. The demonstration
plani. on Venafcleg gtreet hag been
erected primarily; to prove that It
can commercially treat the oreg ol
a larg0 property on Texada, Island,
owned by the Norseman, Exploration
Co. of Minneapolis. For nearly
twenty years this property hag lain
dormant because there was no
known method by which the ores
couLi be economically treated. Tjhe
Lockwoo<j Dalzlel process, during
the last fortnight, hop proven that
it can ma,Icq an 85 per cent recov
ery of the assay copper content of
ths pre at a cost of not more than
7c per pound. This demonstra
tion nivalis that the property will
now be operated on a pcale.
A recovery plant will be erect
od at the property upon which work
will start immediately, and a big
new Industry will come into being
riolit at Vancouver's front door.
The organization of the companies,
which will operate the plant and!
mine hag been completed within
the pase few days and. a quarter of
a million dollarg Is available for the
Installation of the plamt and the'
development of the Property. Th6|
l'irst unit of the plant will have a
capacity of 200 tons of ore a day. j
Ag the discovery ot the cyanide
treatment enormously increased the 1
world's output by making' possible
the extraction of the last penny;
weight of gold remaining In waste t
dumps, considered valueless be
cause under previous methods the
gold could not be extracted1; and as
oil flotation in recent yearjs has
made possible the treatment of low
grade sulphide ores, thus increasing
by probably 50 per cent the world's
supply of coper, bo the Lockwood
Dalziel process by Its maximum, ex
traction from highly refractory ores
at a greatly reduced cost tor treat
ment is designed to mak9 available
enormous qualities of ores hitherto
useless because of the difficulty in
treating' them or because the cost
of transportation for treatment. The
Lockwood Dalziel process will add
to the world's copper pupplirg mil
lions of pounds of electrolytic cop
per produced by both larige and
small operators..
The economic effect upotf copper
read at a glance. It will cost for
the installation of a fifty ton plant
roughly from $25,000 to $30,000.
The cost of operation will vary
slightly under different conditions,
the principle factors in which are
cost of power and labor. As the
consumption of power is slight, be
ing used only for air compression
snd the generation of electrlet cur
rent, the variation in cost of oper
ation will be Blight. Where elec
tric current is available no further
power is necessary. Where mines
are equipped with nir compressors,
and all operating mines are, the
same plant can be used1 for "gitat
Ing the tanks.
As the plant for this proc?6$ can
be erected and operated right at
the mines all charges for transporta
tion, concentration, pmelting and re
finlg will be icluded In the cost of
the Lockwood Dalziel treatment
The cost of mining is, of course,
the sams no matte® by! what pro-]
cess the ore is treated!.
The discoverers, in discussing
their plang for the future, take thej
■ in-. r"1 i '• ' j gj
position that the process must not
become a monopoly of any one con
cern. Great Britain and the Al
lies leurned to their copt tlie bitter
lesson of a German can troll od mon
opoly of the world's copper and
einc supplies during the early years
of the war. The new process will
remove for ever the menace of a
monopoly control of the* copper mar
ket by either friendly of enemy in
terests because it will m&lte pos
sible the operation of hundreds of
small mines and the production of
copper by numbers of small produc
ers, whereas the production of cop
per is now exclusively in the hands
of a few large corporations.
The economic possibilities for the
small operators toy this process
open up to them hitherto un
dreamed of opportunities. Largo
mines of low grade refractory ores
will now he enabled to operate un
der market conditions which hither
to would have meant closing clown..
Given a district engineer's repot*
showing tha eatoutioa of ore bo lies
o£ commercial value and ext'nt 011
his property and a mill test by the
new process showing the ex
traction and cogt per pound] thereof,
the small operator will then have
a property instantly attractive to
capital. Suppose for instance
he has ore averaging 3 per cent
or 60 pounds o£ copper per ton.
will got an extraction of say, at
85 per cent, or 51 pounds to the
ton, costing a maximum, of seven
cents for treatment or $3.57 per ton
With copper at fourteen cent® a
pound the daily profit in a fifty
tou plant shoulfl therefore be over
$175 per <2tay, a very attractive re
turn on the original plant and mine
Investment. Added to J1I3 copper
profit will be the silver and gold or
other values, whatever th$y may be.
The silver and gold values will in
many cages coverf tha cost o£ mining
and mill treatment.
The investment in treating plan
of, say, |30,000, will easily be re
turned* out of profits In one year's
operation. And the emaall opera
tor need nevier be stuck in financ
ing his business because his pro
duct is pure copper, negotiable ss
easily aa gold1.
ilr. Dalziel, who *3 now in the
city it may be stated, has been re
pea'edly approached by large cor
porations to sell his patents out
rl?ht, but he takes the position
that, it 13 both good business and a
national <Suty to make the process
available to all and sundry, Just as
oil flotation has been made.
This policy will mean that within
a few years British Columbia should
have hundred^ of large and small
mines operating all over the pro
vince. TJh.0 possibilities thus op
ened uu are simply tremendous.
British Columbia should become a
veritable hive of the copper indus
try for no other area in the world
contains greater undeveloped copper
resources than this, province.—Pro
vince.
