9.00am to 12.00pm Includes Lunch
Proving the Process: Real-World Insights into Scalable Mining Solutions
Join us for an in-depth session where our technical experts will share valuable insights into the metallurgical testing and piloting processes—critical steps in de-risking mining projects and enabling successful and sustainable project development.
We’ll explore the full mining project lifecycle, from sample selection and laboratory-scale testing to flowsheet design and pilot plant campaigns. Through real-world case studies spanning a variety of commodities—including lithium, gold, rare earth elements, and nickel—we’ll highlight how well-executed test programs can uncover risks, validate process scalability, and provide a foundation for efficient, sustainable operations.
Whether you're advancing early-stage concepts or preparing for production, this session will demonstrate how focused and strategic test work—from bench to pilot scale—can significantly influence a project’s commercial viability.
Topics include:
- Sample Selection / Mineralogy
- Flowsheet Development
- Gold / Hydro Piloting
- Mineral Processing Piloting
