Slurried, crushed ore from the mine is conveyed to the processing plant to be pressure leached with sulphuric acid. The Pressure Acid Leaching area receives the slurried feed, heats it to 225°C and mixes it with hot concentrated sulphuric acid inside four titanium-lined autoclaves. Nickel and cobalt are leached into the solution.
