Most laterite ore deposits are made up of both limonite (iron rich) and saprolite layers, with the thickness of each layer varying significantly across different deposits. Limonite, which accounts for nearly double the amount of saprolite available globally, is more amenable to processing via hydometallurgical techniques, while saprolites are ...

Limonite and Saprolite Heap Leach Process

the limonite zone located on the top zone of lateritic ore body, contains nickel ranging from about 0.5% to 1.8% and consists of goethite-rich and/or hematite-rich ore, which is rich in iron and cobalt. It has a lower magnesium content than saprolitic type ore. Due to stronger weathering, limonitic ore contains dominantly fine and soft particles of goethite and/or hematite.
