Beneficiation Study

A technical investigation assessing the amenability of an ore deposit to beneficiation processing and the economic viability of plant development. A beneficiation study encompasses mineralogical characterisation, laboratory and pilot-scale testwork, process flowsheet development, capital and operating cost estimation, and preliminary financial analysis. In gold, iron ore, bauxite, and diamond projects, beneficiation studies progress from scoping level through prefeasibility to feasibility, providing the technical basis for investment decisions and project financing.
