BHP Ravensthorpe Nickel Operation, Australia
Ore processing. The Ravensthorpe ore body is distinctive in that it has a high silica content, which enables the limonite ore to be upgraded to almost twice the mined grade through a beneficiation plant – a simple scrubbing and screening process to remove the barren, hard silica. The saprolite ore also upgrades but to a lesser extent.
