In total, almost 22.3 Mt could be considered as available for eventual reprocessing and reuse. Chemical analysis had shown that an average concentration of targeted metals in the tailings is: 0.23% Cu, 0.53 g/t Au and 2.83 g/t Ag. Physical characteristics of representative sample of flotation tailings composites include determination of sample density, bulk density and sample pH. Based on the obtained results of the granulometric analysis, it can be concluded that in the sample 66.50% of the particles are smaller than 75 μm in size. The leaching degrees of the analyzed elements, based on the results of chemical analyzes of the solid residue, achieved after leaching of the composite sample of flotation tailings at the pilot plant were recalculated and are: 75.67% Cu, 16.48% Fe, 4.76% Ag and 5.6% Au.
