Overview

Take a look at the Course Flyer!

Geometallurgy emphasizes ore deposit characterization in terms of processing effectiveness, including comminution (crushing, grinding), liberation, recovery and environmental management. Geometallurgical data must be quantitative and spatially-constrained to be incorporated into 3-D models and mine planning activities; ideally, each block in a resource model is attributed with multiple parameters and assigned a dollar value. Key outcomes of an improved geometallurgical knowledge include reduced technical risk, improved forecasting, enhanced economic optimization of mineral production, and fewer environmental concerns.

Course Presenters

Invited Speakers (TBA): Select Industry experts from comminution, recovery, case studies, geostatistics, and other relevant topics

Dr Julie Hunt (MDRU Research Associate in Geometallurgy) has been working in geometallurgy for the past 10 years. She has over 15 years experience in mapping and mineral deposit studies and is leading research, education and training programs for geometallurgy.

Dr Ron Berry (Associate Professor, CODES, UTAS) has been working in geometallurgy since 2005. He has expertise in automated mineralogy, image processing and numerical methods, and is the co-developer of MIN-SQ.
