Introduction

training_processplantdesigncourse.jpgMineral processing plant represents substantial capital investment. It is important when establishing the design and engineering of mineral processing projects that the appropriate metallurgical testwork is undertaken early in the timeline to ensure that the ore bodies are effectively characterised and evaluated from a metallurgical standpoint. Too often these critical aspects of a resource are dealt with as an afterthought, with potentially disastrous consequences.

This full day workshop is intended to provide a “how to” starting with drill core and arriving at an optimum comminution and mineral processing circuit for a project. The workshop includes lectures, workshop/discussions and simulation examples

Course Benefits

Attendees will gain essential knowledge of the metallurgical planning and testwork required when evaluating an ore body from the perspective of developing a metallurgical flow sheet and subsequent plant design. Mineral processing plant represents a large capital expenditure and the testwork undertaken when characterising the ore deposit needs to be efficiently planned and managed to achieve optimal flow sheet and plant design to facilitate the highest recovery and production outcomes.

Detailed information is provider for undertaking design of a comminution and beneficiation circuit. Consideration is also given to the design of CIP/CIL circuits and froth flotation circuits.

Participants will gain an understanding of the fundamental principles of metallurgical testwork, etc.

METS' training courses have been run both in Australia and overseas, and are highly regarded.

Feedback on Damian Connelly

“Great speaker”
“Very obvious expertise”
“Information conveyed in an understandable manner”

Dr Denis Yan - Senior Metallurgist

Denis has over 40 years experience in mining and during this time has had vast experience in most mineral processing environments. Most of Denis’s background is in senior university roles where he led substantial cutting edge research programmes and taught at the WA School of Mines as Program Chair (Metallurgy). Denis is the author of 32 papers and a popular resource text in mineral processing.
