Gold Mill Sulfur Facilities – Engineering and Startup Assistance-Jōb Industrial Services helped a mine to increase their bottom line, by enabling their low sulfur ore for an additional source of gold recovery. They needed a highly reliable sulfur system to achieve this. The client's roasting facility had an older sulfur storage and injection system that was plagued by corrosion, plugging ...
Mine-to-process integration and optimization. Understanding ore body characteristics allows for the optimization of operating strategies, maximizing overall profitability. Blast fragmentation has a significant impact on downstream comminution. Likewise, grind size strongly affects subsequent separation stages.
A flexible, modular and scalable application architecture unlocks the potential of your data. Connected Mine Performance provides an integrating software layer which brings together data from disparate, incompatible and sometimes proprietary third-party systems. This enables IA clients to easily measure, manage and optimise their operations in near-real-time, from a local, …
Proactive reconciliation was developed for detecting the causes of reconciliation problems at each process stage and can be used as a tool for integrating mining and milling operations in an effective and reliable way, as presented by Morley [9] and Chieregati and Pignatari [12]. Following the authors' recommendations, the reconciliation ...

An automation solution with enhanced diagnostic features and operational support – highly adapted to the specific requirements and mechanics of our gearless mill solution.
Abstract. The integration of automated ore pre-concentration and waste disposal functions into the hard rock metal mining system, prior to treatment by conventional grinding and flotation, is proposed as a novel interpretation of Mine-Mill Integration for improving the economics and environmental impact of exploiting deep, low-grade or otherwise marginal mineral deposits.
