SRK Pre-Concentration Seminar

SRK Canada’s Bob McCarthy will lead the seminar, and Adrian Dance will discuss the aspects of laboratory testing.

 

Who should attend?

  • Resource geologists and geoscientists involved in resource estimation of marginal grade deposits (base metal, precious metal and industrial minerals)
  • Mining engineers wanting to learn more about pre-concentration in the mine planning process and improving ore grade to the process plant
  • Metallurgists and process engineers looking to improve the quality of their plant feed

 

What topics will be covered?

  • SRK’s analytical methods to assess heterogeneity
  • Laboratory testing procedures and analysis of results
  • Scenario analysis and the impact of sorting ore vs. marginal grade material
  • Economic analysis of different pre-concentration strategies
  • Prospects for the future – how will sensors improve?

 

What will attendees learn?

  • How SRK is currently assessing grade heterogeneity in deposits
  • What testing methods are available to assess amenability to sorting and estimate metal recovery, rejection rate and fines bypass
  • How other companies are investigating pre-concentration methods to add value to projects
