How to Separate Tungsten Ore From Pyrite in Cameroon?
Understanding the Raw Tungsten Ore in Cameroon
In Cameroon, many mine owners come across raw tungsten ore that contains several visible minerals — most notably pyrite, which looks like gold but is not. Many customers often mistake pyrite for real gold because of its bright yellow appearance. However, before beginning any gold recovery process, it is important to test for actual gold content in a qualified laboratory.
This simple step prevents unnecessary losses and helps design the correct processing flow for tungsten recovery.
Why Gold Testing Is Important Before Processing
When raw tungsten ore contains shiny minerals, mine owners may want to use gravity separation equipment such as a shaking table or jig machine to recover supposed gold. But if there is no real gold in the ore, this will waste both time and money.
That’s why Dasen Mining always recommends gold content testing in the beginning. If laboratory tests confirm the presence of real gold, both tungsten and gold can be recovered together through the gravity separation process.
The Recommended Tungsten Ore Processing Flow
For tungsten ore like the one found in Cameroon, Dasen Mining suggests the following standard process flow:
Crushing – Reduce the raw ore size for the next stage.
Grinding – Further refine the material to achieve suitable particle size.
Screening – Classify the ground materials into different sizes.
Gravity Separation – Use shaking tables or jig concentrators for both rough and fine separation.
After completing this processing flow, mine owners can obtain a high-grade tungsten concentrate, and if there is gold in the ore, it will also be separated during the same process.
