Audits, geometallurgy and Mine-to-Mill optimisation to improve recovery and profitability.
We use advanced digital tools, predictive models and process simulations to diagnose, monitor and optimise your metallurgical circuits. Our solutions are grounded in field data and validated through pilot tests, so the results are tangible.
Our metallurgical services
Technical audits & metallurgical diagnostics
Our work includes:
Analysis of metallurgical balances (inputs, outputs, losses)
Review of control parameters: densities, pH, reagents, residence time
Assessment of key equipment: crushers, mills, flotation cells, thickeners
Identification of metal losses (tailings, non-selective flotation, overgrinding)
Performance indicators: overall yield, recovery rate, energy efficiency
Advanced geometallurgical modelling
Our services include:
Multi-scale ore characterisation: hardness, mineralogy, metal associations, grinding indices (Bond, SPI, DWi)
Integration of data into a geometallurgical block model (Surpac, Leapfrog, Datamine, Deswik)
Predictive performance modelling
Geological segmentation into processing-relevant geometallurgical domains
Economic sensitivity analysis of mineral variability
Mine-to-Mill programmes
We connect the mine and the plant through:
Particle size and energy assessment of fragmentation from drilling and blasting
Characterisation of mining streams: hardness, abrasiveness, metallurgical content, heterogeneity
Optimisation of grinding parameters: residence time, ball size, classification
Dynamic management of ore stockpiles according to their metallurgical response
Blending strategies to stabilise plant performance
Shared Mine–Plant–Planning KPIs
Processing circuit optimisation
Our work covers:
Analysis of critical process parameters: pH, density, flow rate, particle size, reagents, residence time
Optimisation of mass pull and upgrade factor to maximise recovery and profitability, with yield function modelling
Advanced process control through instrumentation, PID loops and online control systems
Flowsheet review and simplification, with circuit rearrangement recommendations
Diagnosis of metallurgical losses and validation of solutions through pilot tests and simulations
Optimisation & due diligence
We develop integrated Mine-to-Mill optimisation strategies, supported by advanced geometallurgical models. This includes blend planning, forecasting block-by-block metallurgical performance and continuous improvement of flowsheets to maximise profitability.
Coaching & mentoring
We support your geologists, metallurgists and process engineers through operational audits, targeted training and continuous technical mentoring, to build internal skills and embed best practice for the long term.
