Abstract
Gencor has pioneered the commercialization of bioxidation of refractory gold ores. Development of the BIOX™ process started in the late 1970s at Gencor Process Research, in Johannesburg, South Africa. The successful development of the technology led to the commissioning of a BIOX™ pilot plant in 1984, followed by the first commercial BIOX™ plant at the Fairview mine in 1986 (van Aswegen et al. 1988). The BIOX™ process was fully commercialized in 1991 when the Fairview plant was expanded to treat the total concentrate production of the mine and the Edwards roasters were finally shut down.
