OVERVIEW

This 1-day course is designed for engineers, geologists, project managers, technologists, suppliers to the resource industry, accountants, administration staff, mineral sector investors, marketers, financial advisors, and those either dealing with mineral processing (extractive metallurgy) or wanting a better understanding of the principles of extractive metallurgy. This course will help you in wrapping your head around the technical “Mumbo-Jambo” of mineral processing for personal or work benefits. Participants will obtain an understanding of the critical steps in typical flowsheets, including the economic and technical drivers that need to be considered in plant design and operation.
