Geometallurgy: Bridging Geology and Mineral Processing
| Duration: | 2 Days (14 PD Hours) |
| Course Delivery: | MetPlant 2026 | Adelaide | In Person |
| Price: | AUD $1,000 (excl GST) |
Overview:
Build a solid foundation of geometallurgy principles and workflows. Learn how to implement a best-practice geometallurgical program from experts providing their know-how and lessons learned following years of specialist experience. A key focus area is on the JKTech methodology, rooted in the AMIRA P843 framework, enabling participants to apply these ideas to real-world scenarios. By the end of the course, participants will understand the workflows required to design and execute a geometallurgical program using JKTech’s approach.
This workshop provides a practical introduction to geometallurgy and its role in improving decision-making across the mining value chain. It is designed for professionals seeking to understand how ore characterisation can support better planning, processing, and performance.
Participants will:
Consolidate their knowledge base in a broad range of topics including sample selection, characterisation testwork methods, and numerical modelling methods. Participants will be able to use their learnings as a framework to plan best-practice geomet programs and maximise the value of any pre-existing data/information.
Workshops are held as part of the MetPlant 2026 program and bookings can be made during the conference registration process.
