ResultFlotation is also the best method for recovery of gold from base metal ores and gold-containing PGM ores. Excluding gravity preconcentration, flotation remains the most cost-effective bene ficiation method. Gold itself is a rare metal and the average grades for low-grade deposits vary between 3 and 6 ppm.
