Geometallurgy combines geological, mineralogical, and metallurgical data to predict how ore variability affects processing. This integrated approach improves resource modeling, reduces operational risk, and supports more efficient, sustainable, and profitable mining decisions.
Why You Should Attend
This webinar offers a valuable opportunity for mining, metallurgy, and geoscience professionals to deepen their understanding of how integrated geometallurgical approaches can improve project outcomes and operational performance. Attendees will:
- Understand the role of mineralogy in geometallurgy: Learn how detailed mineralogical data informs metallurgical response modeling, flowsheet design, and mine planning.
- Explore practical, real-world applications: See how automated mineralogy tools, like TESCAN TIMA, are applied in active geometallurgical programs across commodities such as base metals, epithermal gold, and porphyry copper.
- Gain insight from industry experts: Hear directly from Marek Dosbaba (TESCAN) and Nichola McKay (Blue Coast Research) as they present case studies, workflows, and technical strategies using SEM-based mineralogical analysis.
- Bridge the gap between geology and metallurgy: Discover how spatially resolved mineralogical data can enhance predictability and performance across the mining value chain.
Whether you're involved in resource evaluation, metallurgical testing, or process design, this session will provide actionable insights grounded in proven techniques and modern instrumentation.
