For treating such a new ore, bulk Cu-Pb flotation followed by Zn flotation has been recommended (Sehlotho et al., 2018). An example of a sequential Cu-Pb-Zn flowsheet is given in Fig. 14 . A first flotation stage is carried out at low pH (pH 6), in which the copper sulphide is floated while both galena and sphalerite are depressed.

The ore is processed by froth flotation comprising rougher and scavenger cells. The common reagents for copper ore flotation are xanthates as collector, pine oil as frother, sodium cyanide as depressant, and lime to maintain slurry alkalinity. The concentrate in the form of froth and slurry contains +20% copper.
