The Yanacocha mine is located 4,700 m above sea level. It relies on Merrill-Crowe technology to recover gold from solution. Up to 3 t of slag are produced each day, and within the slag is an estimated 10 kg of recoverable gold. The ILR will eliminate the sorting table and the security issues that go with manual handling.
The Gekko ILR is simple to operate and an energy-miser. It is available in either a continuous or batch application. Depending on the application, it can handle up to 7,000 kg/hr.
