March 2, 1999 London-based Billiton continued to make "rapid progress" on development of bio-leach processes for primary and secondary copper ores, chairman and chief executive Brian Gilbertson said in the company's half-year report. Pilot plant test-work at the Chuquicamata copper mine, a division of Chile's state-owned copper company Codelco in Chile's northern Region II, was progressing satisfactorily, Gilbertson said. "The interfacing of the BioCOP concentrate leaching process with Codelco's downstream solvent extraction technology has been demonstrated," he added. The companies had also designed a multi-purpose demonstration plant and carried out cost estimates jointly. Source: BNA
