Examples
“In addition, some more innovative research was carried out on bacterially leaching marmatite (zinc) concentrates from Colquiri.”
“Although the results were positive the technology has still not been developed, nor has mine management been informed of its potential as an alternative for recuperating marmatite from flotation tailings. 15 There has been a considerable diffusion of technology and related ideas to other mine sites and firms stimulated by turnovers of personnel during the Copper Project and the employment in other companies and institutions throughout the Andean Region.”
