Mineral Processing and Metallurgy

• Ore Characterization: Thoroughly analyzing the ore to determine its mineralogical properties and develop the most effective processing method.
• Process Plant Design: Engineering a specialized processing plant tailored to the specific ore body and desired final product.
• Crushing and Grinding Optimization: Implementing efficient crushing and grinding circuits to prepare the ore for mineral separation.
• Flotation and Gravity Separation: Utilizing these processes to physically separate target minerals from waste rock.
• Leaching and Chemical Extraction: Using chemical processes to dissolve and extract precious metals like gold or silver from the ore.
• Refining and Smelting: Managing the final stages of purification to produce a high-purity metal or concentrate.
• Tailings Management from Processing: Designing a system to handle the waste generated during the processing stage.
• Reagent Management: Sourcing, handling, and managing the chemicals used in the processing plant in a safe and efficient manner.
• Water Management within the Plant: Implementing a closed-loop water system to minimize water consumption and treat wastewater.
• Energy Consumption Monitoring: Continuously monitoring the energy consumption of the processing plant to identify opportunities for efficiency improvements.
• Quality Control and Assaying: Performing regular assays and quality checks on the final product to ensure it meets market specifications.
• Process Optimization: Continuously analyzing the processing circuit to identify ways to improve recovery rates and reduce costs.
• By-Product Recovery: Exploring and implementing methods to recover valuable by-products from the waste stream.
