  Photo 1.  View of the charging hopper and 13.5 ton rotary furnace looking over an inventory of head ore.  Vapors from the furnace are directed to a cooling tower and emission control scrubber system shared with the 5 ton furnace which clean and cool gas temperatures from over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit to ambient temperatures before venting.
  Photo 2.  A display of dore' metal anode plates.  Each plate is accurately weighed and inventoried for electrowinning.

The dore' contains copper and/or silver used as collector metal, and precious metals including silver, gold and platinum group metals to be recovered.
