Abstract

"The advantage of shipping refined silver bullion over the shipment of concentrate to a smelter has been apparent to mine operators in this district for years but not ill recently was the project undertaken by the Buffalo Mine Limited, Cobalt, Ont., Canada. Early in 1912 experiments were conducted by H. G. S. Anderson with this end in view. The results of these experiments led to the erection of an amalgamation plant, the design and construction of which was carried out by Mr. Anderson...It is not the hope in this paper to set forth facts that are entirely new as similar subjects have been treated in the technical magazines. It is rather the aim to set forth some of the specific difficulties encountered here and the ways in which they are overcome" – General Discussion, p. 1-2.
