MINI PILOT PLANT

The Mini Pilot Plant is an advanced and powerful mineral processing system
that puts the capability of a conventional full scale pilot plant in your hands,
for a fraction of the cost.
Proven repeatable results allow you to design and test flotation
circuits with confidence. Extract the maximum amount of metallurgical
information from as little as 150 kg of ore sample
Save Time - Accurately determine mineral processing grade and
recovery outcomes much quicker and earlier
in the deposit evaluation process

With the MPP and using drill core samples a process metallurgist can:
Run continuous flotation test campaigns including
re-circulating streams
Simulate the continuous operation of rougher/
scavenger/cleaner circuits
Develop full circuit flow sheet designs
Derive mass balances and circulating loads

and Money - Low sample acquisition costs, low sample disposal

Produce full grade and recovery curves

costs, low operating costs, low processing costs

Test for ore zone variability

While testing the entire ore property - You already have drill
core from the ore zone, use it to confidently evaluate the economic
potential of the entire ore body, not just one deposit.
