2. Sukari gold mining company ,a joint venture
between Centamin Egypt and the Egyptian
Government , operates the mine.
*
3. Located 15 km west of the Red Sea coast (23 km west of the
coastal town of Marsa Alam) in the southern central Eastern
Desert of Egypt .
*
4. Total reserves at the mine are estimated at 8.56 million ounces
of gold .
This reserve increased over than the percentage was
determined .
*
5. Gold mineralization occurs as a granitoid body composed of
granodiorite-tonalite .
The mineralized body known as El sukari porphyry , is
associated with sulfides hosts within quartz veins and
alteration zones.
*
6. The sulphide ore at Sukari is dominated by pyrite and
arsenopyrite and also contain trace amounts of sphalerite ,
chalcopyrite and galena.
7. Sukari consists of four primary zones that contain varying degrees
of ore: Amun, Ra, Gazelle and Pharaoh.
The open pit is based on the main ore zones which have been
drilled extensively in the Amun and Ra/ Gazelle areas revealing
various high-grade zones.

12. Factory
Rock going through the process of extracting gold mine diabetes
several stages , namely:
- Cracker .
- Assembling the raw material that has been crushed .
- Grinding the raw material .
- The raw material for flotation separation of precious metals.
- Filter and the concentration of the product.
- Grinding the product accurately .
- Separation of precious metals using a cyanide solution .
*
13. -Drying using active carbon .
- Separation of carbon minerals.
- Separation of gold and precious metals .
- Save residues in the place allotted
*
17. The residual can be used in other processes as it
may contain low percentage of gold that it can
be concentrated and can be get outafter
period of time with other processes.
18. Laboratory
Determine the percentage of gold
(sample solution+nitric acid) then water path for 30min
then added sulphuric acid then water path for 30 min then
add water then make titration for the sample using a
standard percentage .
*
19.
20. This laboratory is used to prepare the cyanide solution .
(cyanide+water) give poison gas .
To prepare this solution they make a solution of lime
(CaCO3+water)then dissolve cyanide in it.
Cyanide solution used to extract gold from rocks.
