Abstract
Physiochemical analysis of Chanchaga ore, was investigated in this research work. The techniques involved in the study were sample collection and preparation, density determination, sieve analysis/work index and chemical analysis of the head sample using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) method. The result showed that the most valuable metal in the ore is Cu, however other important metals such as Pt, Ag, Pb and Cr are present in very low concentrations. The liberation size was established as 125 μm, 2.88 g cm3 was obtained as the average density of the ore while, the mesh of grind was 210 μm and the median size was 50%. The value of work index was calculated as 10.4 kWh t1.
