Paula Montoya - Geometallurgy Modelling: an update for the last 10 years

Understanding the fundamental relationships between geological characterisation of mineral deposits and their impact on mineral processing and recovery is what geometallurgy is about. For GeoMet, to develop new and improved integrated measures of mining and processing attributes that can be embodied into ore body models which more representatively reflect potential economic value. Incorporation of these attributes into ore deposit models will facilitate more effective mine planning and optimisation. In this presentation Paula Montoya will talk about geometallurgy modelling and update on the last 10 years, which the main purpose is to see what has been done and how new technologies could help to improve the fundamental ore geology knowledge to be mapped.
