World class process development, finding technically and economically robust process solutions for mining projects.
Engineering Studies
Core’s engineering group conducts scoping, pre-feasibility and feasibility process engineering studies. As a specialist process engineering group, our engineers provide expert guidance for a wide range of clients on the metallurgical development of their projects. As part of this development, Core can generate:
• Process flow diagrams and costed equipment lists
• Detailed mass and energy balances for your process using Excel, METSIM or HSC Chemistry
• Specify, size and cost all the process equipment in your process flowsheet using our in-house equipment list and vendor supplied quotes
• Develop process operating costs including detailed power schedules, reagents and consumables list and plant labour schedule.
• Identify Life of Mine operating strategies, built around geometallurgical data for your project
Clients come to us to solve a variety of process problems:
• Optimise your process flowsheet to minimise risk, operating & capital costs.
• Develop a variety of processing options for your resource, outlining the drivers for each.
• Evaluate competing flowsheet options, and identify a preferred flowsheet for the resource.
• Identify parameters that are critical to your process and develop strategies to address these issues.
• Improve grade or recovery by enhancing existing processes or development of alternative processes that improve a project’s economics.
