The present invention concerns a method of separating variable ores containing copper, lead, zinc and the like as the refining material for non-ferrous metals and gangue minerals such as pyrite, quartz, feld spar and the like from dug out ores and, particularly, it relates to a flotation method. For obtaining non-ferrous metal valuable ores as concentrates from ores by a flotation method, flotation is conducted by using gaseous sulfurous acid or aqueous sulfurous acid as a depressant for controlling the floatability of pyrite. The flotation method comprises measuring the redox potential of an ore solution before and after the addition of gaseous sulfurous acid or aqueous sulfurous acid and determining an optimum addition amount by utilizing a proportional relationship present between the difference of the potential and the valuable quality enhancing rate. According to the method, it is possible to judge the effect of depressing pyrite, that is, the effect of sulfurous acid for enhancing the valuable quality without complicate analysis or test and, further, when the method is applied to automatic control, an utmost economical merit can be obtained by quality control of concentrates or saving of wasteful consumption of the reagent.
