ARCHIVED PAPER (1997) - The Kinross DeLamar Mine was in operation for more than 17 years producing precious metals dorй from ores, principally silver bearing with associated gold co-products. In late 1995 a new ore-body was commissioned, the Stone Cabin ore-body, and the site began a phased shift from silver dominance to gold dominance in terms of precious metals revenue. The Knelson Concentrator was selected to remove gold form a portion of the cyclone underflow stream in the grinding circuit.
This paper describes the development of the flow sheet, specifically mineralogical impacts on Knelson product and downstream materials, and impacts on mine/mill grade reconciliation.

"This was excellent (the "Where in the world is Knelson?" - Internet contest) as I have a bit to do with this product in my travels both in North Queensland and Papua New Guinea, as a Valves Sales Manager. But it was interesting to learn where else in the world Knelson is being used."
