Process Mineralogy

For over thirty years, SGS Minerals Services has been providing high quality process mineralogy support to hundreds of extractive metallurgy projects.

With an extensive array of state-of the art equipment, our professional mineralogists provide quantitative assessments of mineral deportment and liberation that help maximize grade and recovery or increase operational efficiency.

Typical objectives of process mineralogy studies:

• Clarify reasons for poor or unexpected metallurgical recovery and grade
• Understand the influence of physical ore characteristics on metallurgical performance
• Detect and quantify beneficial or deleterious ore and gangue mineral  assemblages
