Kinetics of Leaching of Covellite in Ferric-Sulfate KINETICS OF LEACHING OF COVELLITE IN FERRIC-SULFATE-SULFURIC ACID MEDIA by Carlos Angeles B.Eng., Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, 2011 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Materials Engineering) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) August 2015 © Carlos Angeles, 2015 Abstract Hydrometallurgy methods to extract copper are becoming more frequently applied in modern industry. However, the leaching kinetics for certain minerals like covellite is poorly understood. This thesis investigates the kinetics of covellite leaching in a ferric-sulfate-sulfuric acid media, with an emphasis first placed on the understanding of the effect of the most common variables such as temperature and redox potential. A natural mineral sample of covellite and an ore sample from the Oyu Tolgoi project in Mongolia were obtained for the leaching studies. The leaching temperature was varied from 20° to 90°C, the total iron concentration varied from 0.1 mol/L to 0.5 mol/L, the Fe+3/Fe+2 ratios varied from 0.1 to 10. The leaching results showed that an increase in temperature will result in an increase in the rate and extent of copper extraction. However, the redox potential or Fe+3/Fe+2 ratio have little to no effect on the final copper extraction. These factors had only a modest impact on copper leach kinetics. The final copper extractions for covellite from Butte, Montana and covellite containing ore from Oyu Tolgoi at the same temperature were very similar. The key factor to improve copper extraction from covellite containing ores is to maximize the leach temperature. The other factors appear to be much less important. These findings provide the basis for process design and optimization of industrial leaching processes of covellite. ii Preface Financial support for this work was provided by Rio Tinto. I was responsible for conducting the research, preparing and analyzing the results, and writing progress reports and this thesis. The work was done under the supervision of Dr. David Dreisinger. iii Table of Contents Abstract

    Phelps Dodge Corporation (the Company, which also may be referred to as Phelps Dodge, PD, we, us or our) is one of the world's leading producers of copper and molybdenum, and is the world's largest producer of molybdenum-based chemicals and continuous-cast copper rod. On November 18, 2006, Phelps Dodge and Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (Freeport) entered Into a definitive merger agreement under which Freeport Wii,, acquire Phelps Dodge, creating the world's largest publicly traded copper company. The combined company will represent one of the most geographically diversified portfolios of operating, expansion and growth projects in the copper mining industry. The transaction, which is subject to Phelps Dodge and Freeport shareholder approval, regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions, is expected to close in March 2007. Phelps Dodge and Freeport will each hold a special meeting of shareholders on March 14, 2007, to vote on the proposed acquisition. Phelps Dodge and Freeport common shareholders of record at the close of business on February 12, 2007, will be entitled to vote on the proposed transaction. Under the terms of the transaction, Freeport will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Phelps Dodge for a combination of cash and common shares of Freeport. Each Phelps Dodge shareholder would receive $88.00 per share in cash plus 0.67 common shares of Freeport for each Phelps Dodge share. Freeport will deliver a total of approximately 137 million shares to Phelps Dodge shareholders, resulting in Phelps Dodge shareholders owning approximately 38 percent of the combined company on a fully diluted basis.

Corte President & GeneralManager December 12, 2006 United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn: Mr. Gary Janosko Mail Stop 8- F42 Washington, DC 20555-001 Dear Mr. Janosko: I am the President of Western Nuclear Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Phelps Dodge Corporation (the "Company") located at One North Central Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85004, a New York corporation. This letter is to update current cost estimate for completing decommissioning of the Split Rock Site, near Jeffrey City, Wyoming. Though final reclamation efforts are in progress and all site reclamation obligations are anticipated to be complete in early 2007, we do not request ay change in the surety amount from the previous year. The amount has been adjusted for inflation by applying the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI- U): unadjusted U.S. city average, percent change from October 2005 to September 2006 (1.3), to the 2006 surety amount ($12,279,018). Therefore, the 2007 surety amount would be: $12,279,018 X 1.013 = $12,438,645 The Company's use of the financial test to demonstrate financial assurance using a parent company guarantee is consistent with NRC's 1988 Technical Position on FinancialAssurances for Reclamation, Decommissioning, and Long-Term Surveillance and Control of Uranium Recovery Facilities ("Technical Position"). The financial resources of the Company have not changed significantly since 2006. Page t~o Letter to United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission December 12, 2006 The Company guarantees, through a parent company guarantee submitted to demonstrate compliance under 10 CFR Part 40, including Appendix A, and the above- mentioned NRC Technical Position, the decommissioning of the following facility owned and for operated by a subsidiary of this Company.
