Molycop is a Gold Sponsor of PROMIN 2026, one of Latin America’s key mineral processing forums. The event in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, convenes senior mining professionals for two days of focused technical exchange.
Key Facts
- PROMIN 2026 will be held 18–19 March in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, and will bring together senior plant leaders and suppliers for practical learning sessions.
- Eduardo Nunez, Molycop Vice President – Process Optimisation, will deliver a presentation on real‑time grinding optimisation using in‑mill sensing and analytics to reduce variability and improve performance.
- As a Gold Sponsor, Molycop will showcase integrated consumables, digital tools and process optimisation services designed to deliver measurable plant outcomes.
Eduardo Nunez, Molycop Vice President – Process Optimisation, will present a keynote technical presentation titled Real Time Grinding Optimisation Through In Mill Measurements and Analytics. As the industry continues to face rising operational complexity – from handling harder, more variable ore bodies to improving the efficiency of efficiency grinding circuits – real-time visibility and advanced analytics are becoming essential tools for competitive performance. Eduardo will address these challenges, and the tools that can be used to overcome them, in his presentation.

Real‑time grinding optimisation: from signals to stability
Grinding is one of the most energy-intensive stages of mineral processing, often accounting for nearly half of a plant’s electrical consumption and directly influencing downstream recovery. In many cases, this energy – rather than reducing ore size – is wasted through damage to liners, grinding media and bolts.Real-time optimisation, enabled by advanced sensing, analytics and data integration, empowers control systems and operators to make informed decisions that stabilise performance, reduce variability and maximise throughput while protecting liners, balls and bolts.
According to Eduardo:
Our focus is to give plants the real‑time insight needed to stabilise mills and make confident decisions that translate into measurable performance.
Strategic importance for Latin America
PROMIN 2026 will feature expert-led sessions on automation, digital twins, ore characterisation, ESG analytics and tailings management, alongside real-world case studies from major processing operations. Molycop’s participation underscores the company’s commitment to supporting Latin American mining operations with deeper technical collaboration, advanced solutions and shared know-how.“We see tremendous opportunity in bringing in-mill real-time measurement and advanced analytics to the forefront of mineral processing strategy,” Eduardo says. “Our goal is to help operations unlock performance that was previously obscured by limited process variables and data gaps – enabling them to operate smarter, safer and more sustainably.”
