Automated Microscopy 2016 – Workshop

Automated Microscopy 2016 – Workshop

Automated Microscopy 2016 is run over two days consisting of a cross-disciplinary conference on the first day and a workshop on the second. There are less than 70 delegate spaces remaining.

The workshop will focus on operational mineralogy – looking at the integration of day-to-day mineralogical monitoring into the process plant for the continuous improvement of mineral processing performance. The capacity to integrate trend based daily mineralogical monitoring into the process plant is a step change from assay monitoring. It has been made possible by the development of ruggedized SEM technology coupled with a model of expert remote support to trained and upskilled on-site personnel. The benefits of an operational mineralogy program are substantial, including the capacity for forward feed analysis, trend based mineralogical monitoring, tailings management, with quick ROI and continuous improvement.

The workshop will be run by Dr Will Goodall, iMin Solutions & MinAssist, Dr Ben Tordoff, Zeiss and Mr James Strongman, iMin Solutions & PetrolabThe good news is that if you have registered for the Automated Microscopy Meeting then you can opt to attend this workshop as well.

The workshop is designed to cover a staged implementation of an iMin Solutions operational mineralogy program from feasibility to handover of the system and ongoing data management.

Areas covered;

  • Site suitability
  • Sample preparation
  • Installation and training
  • Data interpretation and implementation of continuous improvement plan
  • Data validation and quality control
  • Opening the door to big data analytics and asset management.

This conference is sponsored by the Department of Earth Sciences, University of OxfordMinerals Engineering International, Zeiss MicroscopyNikon UK Ltd and Hitachi High Technologies. To register, please contact Kate Wooding once you have registered for the meeting.

DATE & VENUE: Wednesday 7th September to Thursday 8th September – Department of Earth Sciences, Oxford University
