Technology looks promising.But will it work on your ore?

A vendor can tell you what their technology did on a different orebody, at a different grind size, against a baseline they chose. Before you change a flowsheet or commit capital, these are the questions that decide it.

Prove the technology before you commit the capex.
Scope

The questions a review has to answer.

Most engagements target two or three of these rather than all eight. Which ones depends on the decision waiting on the answer.

01Does it work on our ore?
02What improvement is realistic, not best-case?
03How does it compare with what we run today?
04What breaks between bench and plant scale?
05What does it do to the rest of the circuit?
06What is the improvement worth per year?
07What should the next programme measure?
08Is the evidence strong enough to implement on?
The OreWorx approach

Nine stages from claim to decision.

STAGE 01

Define the problem

STAGE 02

Characterise the ore

STAGE 03

Identify candidate technologies

STAGE 04

Design the test programme

STAGE 05

Conduct bench testing

STAGE 06

Coordinate pilot testing where required

STAGE 07

Model full-scale performance

STAGE 08

Quantify economics

STAGE 09

Recommend the path forward

OreWorx works with a network of technology providers, specialist laboratories and pilot facilities to access the appropriate equipment and expertise for each test programme.
