The cover member (54) is mounted on the body portion (12) so that the cover member (54) is rotatable between a first position and a second position. Included on the body portion (12) is a fixing aperture (24) and a fixing projection (58) is included on the cover member (54). The fixing projection (58) and the fixing aperture (24) facilitates rotation of the cover member (54) between first and second positions. The fixing projection (58) is provided with at least one snap-fit connection which co-operates with the fixing aperture (24). This arrangement facilitates a snap fit engagement of the cover member (54) with the body portion (12). When cover member (54) is in the first position, the apertures (20, 26) in body portion (12) and cover member (54) do not align with each other, thus preventing the pins of the electrical plug from being receivable in the body portion (12). With cover member (54) in the second position, the apertures (20, 26) in body portion (12) and cover member (54) align with each other. In this second position pins of the electrical plug are receivable in the body portion (12).

Title: Extraction process for metals like gold and platinum including fine grinding, pulping and oxygenating
Inventor: SINGH ADRIAN
IPC: C22B1/00
Filed: 2005-12-15
Abstract: A process for obtaining metal values, typically base metals, platinum or gold from a feed material. In a first step of the process, feed material containing metal values is ground to a particle size d90 of 100 microns or less to form an ultra fine pulp. In a second step, the ultra fine ground pulp from the first step is oxygenated by pumping it in multiple passes through an in-line high shear static oxygenation device (30), while re-circulating it on a tank (28) or any other vessel. The process results in a significant reduction in the required leach time, improved recoveries, reduced cyanide consumptions, a steadier gold tail, as well as reduced capital and operational expenditure.
