Mineralogical analysis showed chalcopyrite liberation to be 71-73 % at 80% passing 75 microns, whereas with the coarser grind of 106 microns, the liberation was only 55%. A portion of the chalcopyrite has been shown to occur as fine-grained disseminations enclosed in silicate minerals and as such not readily liberated.
