Metallurgical Consultancy & Process Engineering

The design process starts in the field, as we work closely with project geologists to develop a sampling program that gives an accurate picture of the orebody and its mineralogy. From there, we design a metallurgical testwork regime, manage laboratory analysis and interpret the key results to optimise production from initial concept to full operations.

Testwork programs are tailored to the maturity of the project and vary according to whether the assessment is for an initial scoping study, a full feasibility, or a detailed engineering design. Programs can also be designed for special purposes, such as generating bulk product samples for marketing or downstream testing, or running a pilot campaign to refine plant design.

Flowsheet development underpins the success of a project, and we have extensive experience designing the best treatment process for many different minerals.

We are expert in treating complex ores that demand innovative solutions, and are leaders in the extraction of commodities such as gold, copper, base metals and graphite.
