The proposal is to construct and operate a new concentrate roasting facility 17 km north north-west of the Kalgoorlie Town Centre. The proposed roaster would be required to treat approximately 190 000 tonnes per annum of concentrate. This would result in the production of 16 000 kg/hr of sulphur dioxide. A concentrate containing typically 27% iron, 33% sulphur and 35 gram per tonne of gold, would be piped as a slurry to the roaster from the proposed Fimiston Plant. The slurry would then be fed...
