Metallurgy and Processing

Technical Evaluation

For prospective or selected projects or operations, Minecon will review the following:

  • Process flowsheet
  • Material characteristics
  • Head assays
  • Mass balance
  • Bulk mineralogy
  • Metal associations
  • Hardness Characteristics
  • Recovery and kinetics of the primary material
  • Review of PFDs and P&IDs
  • Reagent consumption rates and key metallurgical OPEX components
  • Design capacities
  • Variability tests.
  • Minecon’s deliverables will include:
  • Suitability of the current plant design to consistently meet intended recovery and head grade targets for the remainder of the operations.
  • Review the OPEX and Capex Estimates.
  • Mitigation strategy for any inherent risks
