Invitation to Register

On behalf of The AusIMM, the organising committee is proud to present the Third AusIMM International Geometallurgy Conference 2016.

Geometallurgy aims to correlate geology and mineralogy with data from metallurgical test work and develop a model that can constrain and predict

variability in metallurgical processes and lead to mine optimisation. This conference aims to showcase ‘geometallurgy – beyond conception’ through predominantly case study-based papers. As always, it aims to bring together various disciplines including: geologists, engineers, metallurgists, environmental scientists, mineral economists and corporate stakeholders.

This two-day conference will share geometallurgical best practice in a multidisciplinary environment. It will be hosted in the vibrant city of Perth, Western Australia. The program includes five keynote speakers and over 30 standard presentations. Topics to be covered include: geomet corporate value, ore characterisation, environmental aspects, orebody modelling, program design and application, mine planning and case studies.

There will also be a number of pre- and post-conference short courses and a laboratory visit.

I invite you to register for GeoMet 2016 and look forward to welcoming you to Perth to what will be both a timely and interesting meeting.

Professor Peter Dowd FAusIMM(CP) Professor of Mining Engineering, The University of Adelaide

Geometallurgy – Some Approaches and Remaining Issues

Professor Peter Dowd has more than 40 years experience in academic research, teaching and administration and consulting to industry. Recent

work has focussed on the characterisation of rock masses in hot dry rock-enhanced geothermal systems, for environmental risk analysis and assessment, mining applications, and stochastic modelling of flow pathways in aquifers.

Professor Dowd’s contributions to the development and application of geostatistics were recognised by the Royal Academy of Engineering in 1998 when he was elected to Fellowship of the Academy. The citation particularly noted his distinguished international contributions to the application of geostatistics in mine planning and design. In 2006, he was elected Fellow of the

Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering in recognition of his contributions to geostatistics and leadership in engineering education.

He has been cited as one of Australia’s 100 most influential engineers by the Institution of Engineers Australia.

Conference Workshop Program

W1: Mine Waste: Risk or Opportunity?Tuesday 14 June 2016

Mining generates a range of waste products, including tailings and waste rock, all of which require long-term environmental management. This workshop will first explain environmental risks posed by mine wastes. Next, it will focus on best practice approaches for waste characterisation to be adopted during early life-of-mine stages. Lastly, it will describe (with case studies) how existing mine waste materials can be effectively evaluated in terms of their economic potential, with an opportunity to generate wealth from waste.

This workshop will be delivered over four key-sessions:

Session 1: Prediction 1: Why? ARD principles Pre-mining risk assessments Best practice in ARD prediction

Session 2: Prediction 2: How? Laboratory testwork: Scheduling and interpretation Case study 1: Application of the GMTG approach Case study 2: Blended leach testing – a game changer?

Session 3: Re-evaluation: The opportunities Reassessing mine waste: the business case Case study 3: Microanalytical evaluations of waste rock: critical

metal deportment Case study 4: The biogeometallurgical approach: mining today

and tomorrow Case study 5: Geometallurgical characterisation of tailings

Session 4: Designing an effective waste management strategy (practical with break-out sessions) Designing a waste management plan Interpret geochemical and mineralogical data Expert feedback on plans

W2: Characterisation of Gold and Copper-Gold Ores for Geometallurgical ProgramsTuesday 14 June 2016

This workshop is designed to provide participants with fundamental understanding of ore characterisation across program design, representative sampling, geochemical and mineralogical testing, gold recovery testing and comminution evaluation. The workshop will focus on the practical aspects of a characterisation program and demonstrates how to better design and optimise a process through a geometallurgical program.

Key areas of discussion will be: program planning and preliminary characterisation studies

(eg ‘sampling for sampling’) data analysis representative sampling and Theory of Sampling drill core logging and gaining maximum value from core mineralogical (eg gold deportment, MLA/QEMSCAN) and

geochemical (eg PXRF and XRD, ICPMS and ICPAES) characterisation

metallurgical testing (eg comminution, gravity, flotation and leaching)

developing small-scale proxies for comminution (eg EQUOtip) and recovery (eg sulfide mineralogy for flotation) tests

data management, data mining and outputs.

This workshop is designed for geologists, metallurgists and mining engineers working in gold and gold-copper deposits. However, other staff from exploration, engineering and consulting companies and academic research institutes can also gain benefit from attending.

W3: Geometallurgy to ValueTuesday 14 June 2016

This one-day course provides an overview of the ways to unlock the potential that geometallurgy has to optimise the value of mining projects and operations. The course describes the astute collection and management of geometallurgical data and the steps required to translate insights gained into bottom-line value.

The course brings together a summary of the latest research in geometallurgical data acquisition and spatial modelling and cutting-edge implementation across some of the world’s largest mining organisations. The course highlights practical aspects of program design, implementation, sustainability and future directions of geometallurgy.

Thinking frameworks for action and value

The course is aimed at senior technical and management personnel in project development and operations from functional units such as geology, mining, processing, environmental and project evaluation.

Through lectures, case studies and interactive exercises, the course will present the state-of-the-art for geometallurgy in the minerals industry, covering topics such as:

emergent sampling tools and sampling strategies for geometallurgy overview of geometallurgical measurements and tests challenges associated with the analysis of geometallurgical data implementation and management of geometallurgical programs building and updating robust spatial geometallurgical models organising frameworks for embedding geometallurgy in your

organisation using geometallurgical models, static- and scenario-based

approaches, to address risk and increase mining project value.There will be specific time set aside during the sessions to discuss real industry implementation problems, and participants are encouraged to come with prepared questions. The management and strategic issues of geometallurgy will also be framed and addressed in the course.

Presenters: Stephen Coward, Principal Consultant, Interlaced Heidi Pass, Manager Geosciences and Principal Geochemist, REFLEX Geochemistry Ashok Doorgapershad, Principal Advisor, Mine Geoscientific Services

Cost: Member – A$660 Non-member – A$880
