ABSTRACT The invention relates to an improvement in a method for recovering metal values from copper-containing and/or precious metal containing materials which also contain antimony and/or bismuth in such high quantities as to render working-up of the materials with conventional metallurgical processes difficult or impossible. In accordance with the improvement, the material is subjected to a chlorination volatilization process in a manner to bring the antimony and/or bismuth content of the material to a predetermined low level acceptable for the continued working-up of the material in conventional process stages, while maintaining the metal values of the material in a substantially unaffected form. The volatilization process is best carried out at temperatures of between 450°C and 750°C, preferably between 550°C and 650°C. The chlorination process can be carried out on materials included in the group: sulphidic or oxidic-ore concentrates, matte, speiss, oxidic and metallic inter- mediate products. In certain cases it is convenient to convert the material to another form within the group, for example the matte. prior to carrying out the chlorination process.
