From Integrated Solutions to Real-World Impact
Drawing on global case studies and operational experience, Molycop’s specialists showcased how combining metallurgical expertise with digital technologies enhances circuit visibility and decision-making.A strong focus was placed on practical application. Rather than addressing isolated challenges, the Masterclass emphasised a holistic mine-to-plant perspective — illustrating how data-driven insights, advanced control systems, and tailored reagent strategies can significantly improve circuit stability and overall plant performance.
The interactive format allowed participants to connect theory with site-specific realities, raising operational challenges and discussing tailored optimisation strategies with Molycop’s technical team.
“True optimisation happens when technology, expertise and operational insight come together,” Gerhard Strobos noted.
These sessions provide a platform not only to share innovation, but to collaborate directly with industry peers facing similar challenges. That exchange of experience is what drives continuous improvement across the sector.
