Flotation is also the best method for recovery of gold from base metal ores and gold-containing PGM ores. Excluding gravity preconcentration, flotation remains the most cost-effective bene ficiation method. Gold itself is a rare metal and the average grades for low-grade deposits vary between 3 and 6 ppm.

Froth Flotation
Flotation operators must react and make changes without always understanding the primary cause for the observed decline in metallurgical performance. Thus flotation is often viewed as an Art rather than as a Science. Steps Involved 1. Grinding the ore fine enough so valuable mineral particles become liberated from the waste
