Preventing Future Losses: Metallurgical Ore Textural Analysis using Tescan TIMA™
In mineral processing, inconsistent recoveries and unexpected losses often stem from a single blind spot: unrepresentative ore texture data during the resource characterization stage. A flowsheet based on limited mineralogical input often leads to an incorrect target grind size, resulting in either over-grinding (wasted energy) or under-grinding (lost value).
Traditional logging methods provide only snapshots, failing to capture the quantitative, mining-scale insight needed for confident production decisions. The Tescan TIMA™ addresses this by characterizing unbroken ore textures and mineralogy, directly contributing to the definition of geometallurgical domains.
Discover how Tescan TIMA™ provides the data required to support your most critical flowsheet and recovery decisions.
