Case Study
McArthur River Mining
McArthur River Mining At McArthur River Mine, we were asked to improve their otation process using our KSX expert system. We were asked to speci cally address the following issues by the client: Downstream stream issues impacting on the otation performance rather than the reagent additions, air rates or pulp levels. The issues could be coarse grind size, blocked cyclones, changes in water chemistry, dirty process water. Reagent additions g/t is di erent for each orebody and also depending on where the ore comes from in the pit (North, South) ores can treat extremely di erently. They had tried to split the circuit up to concentrate on individual bank recoveries, however the e ect of residual reagents caused poor performance and it was di cult to sync the overall performanceSetting limits
