Hi Edouard;

The next time my son goes north I will tell him to visit a slag pile and
grab me a bucket full, that is provided he does not get shot. I hear that
they are reprosessing the slage using a new method that can extract even
more gold. There was a mountain of the stuff in front of my wife's home.
We would go walking on it to pass the time and to do, well, to do.

I will then get it to you by car. My son will definately be going north
this summer.

Edouard;

Have you ever worked with the slag from the gold mines in Val Dor?

Terrance

Edouard Bastarache Inc. on fri 4 apr 08


Terrance,

no.

But do you have the chemical composition of this
slag,
we could feed it into a computer and do
theoritical
mathematical simulations to see if it could be
used
in glazes.

Hi - I am wondering about arsenic contamination with slag/ore remains. I
think that arsenic is often found in conjunction with many metals or is used
in the extraction of various ores? ??? Would that be a problem with using
metals from tailings?

Eva,

it depends on the chemical composition
and the amount absorbed. You need to
obtain it from the company that produced
it. They must have it to manage legally
the slag, and give it to govt. officials.

There is none (arsenic), I may be some
sort of an original, but I am not crazy
enough to poison myself.

But, there are trace amounts of different
other metallic oxides, nothing to make me
worry, such as niobium oxide, etc

Hi Terrance,

try to get the chemical analysis.
Secondly, if it is coarse it will
have to be ball milled and sieved.

I do not own a ball mill.
I have sieves up to 325 meshes.

Hi Edouard,
yes I reallize all of that - and I was not thinking of your slag, but going
around to various abandoned mines sites, and getting some of the minerals
there. Old abandoned mine tailings in northern Ontario - I think there is a
problem in some with arsenic leaching from them. And about 15 years ago -
some of these were not being managed that well. However don't know if these
levels are just ppm or higher.
Our son is an exporation geologist and I wanted some of his copper - but he
did say some of it has arsenic so I would not use those sources. I was just
wondering how much of a problem it would be firing it there was some
present. Would it be volatile?

Hello Eva,

I do not think there would be volatiles in
Sorelslag
as far as metallic oxides are concerned, but you
definitely
need the chemical analysis for any slag you want
to use.

Fortunateley, I was lucky to have the analyses
of the industrial stuffs I use from engineers
and chemists who work for these local companies.

The storing and fate of these slags are regulated
by
provincial laws and by-laws, this why the analyses
are available. The problem was to get them out of
the companies. It is a good thing to have friends
who
can supply them.(Hehehehe)

As for other stuffs in other regions, there are
many
variables to take into account.

These slags may vary for many reasons in the same
facility, such as the origins of the ore, the
modifications
in the refining processes, etc.
