Smelting Department
The Smelting Department and Process
Our smelting department is at the core of our refining operations, ensuring the efficient processing and transformation of raw materials into high-purity metals. As a key step in nearly all the services provided by Africana Gold Mining Ltd, smelting is integral to our daily operations and ensures the seamless progression of our refining processes.
Material Preparation
Incoming materials, such as doré or scrap, are carefully inspected and prepared for smelting. This ensures consistency and efficiency throughout the process.
High-Temperature Melting
Using advanced furnaces, the material is melted at precise temperatures to separate gold from other elements.
Purification
Impurities and unwanted materials are removed during smelting, leaving behind high-purity molten gold.
Forming
The molten gold is then poured into molds to form bars or converted into grains for further processing in the refinery.
