Representative samples come first
A precise laboratory result from a biased sample is still misleading. Sampling should represent the ore types, size ranges and variability that the future plant will receive. We review the sampling context before interpreting a test result.
Gravity amenability program
The exact program depends on the mineral, but it can include feed preparation, size distribution, staged gravity separation, concentrate cleaning and size-by-size tailings checks. The objective is to learn where value reports and what preparation the separation requires.
From test result to flowsheet
A laboratory machine does not become a plant by increasing its dimensions. Plant design adds feed variability, mass flow, water balance, circulating load, sampling points, dewatering, tailings and operator control.
Initial project assessment is free. Detailed testing, calculations, drawings and equipment documentation are scoped according to the work required and may be credited against a complete equipment order.
