Join Molycop’s Africa Masterclasses to be held in Stellenbosch (Cape Town) and Johannesburg in February 2026. Molycop experts will examine practical, field-tested strategies to prepare mining professionals for the future of digital and AI-enabled mineral processing.
Key Facts
- Two exclusive Masterclass events will be held in Stellenbosch (Cape Town) on 5 February and Johannesburg on 17 February 2026.
- The Masterclasses will focus on integrated optimisation across comminution, flotation and leaching – and examine the future of digital and AI-enabled technologies.
- The events are designed for mining professionals seeking practical, field-tested strategies for optimised, sustainable performance.
Sustainable performance is no longer achieved through isolated improvements but through a deep understanding of the entire processing circuit as an integrated system.
An end-to-end view of process optimisation
Molycop's Africa Masterclasses will take a holistic view of the mineral processing circuit, unlike traditional technical seminars that focus on individual unit operations. Participants will be guided through Molycop’s complete suite of solutions, spanning comminution, milling, flotation, leaching, advanced process control, digital technologies and advisory services. Plus, they’ll learn how these elements interact to drive sustainable performance.According to Oliver Samukute, Molycop Regional Sales Manager Africa:
Sustainable performance doesn’t come from optimising one area in isolation. Real value is unlocked when the entire circuit is understood as a system and when technology, process control and operational discipline work together.
Oliver Samukute, Molycop Regional Sales Manager, Africa, will present at both Masterclass events.
Practical insights grounded in real operations
Open, discussion-driven sessions are built around a simple principle: focus on what works in real plants. The Masterclasses will review operating case studies from global sites to demonstrate how integrated optimisation strategies can increase throughput, improve recovery, reduce energy and reagent consumption, and stabilise operations in the face of ore variability and changing production demands. Advanced control and AI technologies are presented as practical tools already delivering measurable value in operating plants.The Masterclasses will examine how stability, consistency and long-term value are achieved through disciplined process optimisation and effective use of digital and control tools. Participants are encouraged to bring forward their own site-specific challenges and engage directly with the specialists who develop, deploy and support Molycop’s technologies worldwide.
Gerhard Strobos, Molycop Technology Business Manager, says:
Everything we share is grounded in operating reality – how to stabilise processes, create measurable value and support site teams in achieving consistent performance.
Gerhard Strobos, Molycop Technology Business Manager, says the Masterclasses will show how to achieve consistent performance with effective use of digital and control tools.
