Molycop delivers private Masterclass sessions for Lundin Mining in Brazil

Molycop has delivered two tailored Masterclass sessions for Lundin Mining in Brazil, providing hands-on training designed to drive measurable performance improvements across SAG and ball mill circuits.

Key Facts

  • Tailored SAG and ball mill optimisation training modules gave Lundin Mining teams practical, site-relevant strategies to enhance milling performance.
  • Interactive workshops enabled operators and technical specialists to troubleshoot real-world challenges and identify efficiency opportunities together.
  • Participants left with deeper insight into mill behaviour, empowering them to make smarter, data-driven decisions.
Molycop has delivered two private Masterclass sessions for Lundin Mining in Brazil, led by Renato Martins, Molycop Account Manager. The technical workshops were developed to support the site’s continuous improvement efforts in milling performance, a critical driver of plant efficiency and metallurgical outcomes.

Tailored training for SAG and ball mill circuits

To address the unique operational considerations of each circuit, the Masterclass was delivered in two focused modules:
  • SAG Mill Optimisation
  • Ball Mill Optimisation
This structure allowed participants to explore key concepts such as charge dynamics, media selection strategies, wear mechanisms, energy-efficiency opportunities and best-practice operational controls.

Collaboration between operational and technical teams

Both operational and technical personnel attended, creating a collaborative space for real-world learning and shared insights. The sessions were highly interactive, with participants raising site-specific questions and discussing challenges and opportunities within their existing circuits.

Reflecting on the experience, Renato said:
These Masterclasses are all about empowering teams. When customers understand the ‘why’ behind mill performance, they’re better positioned to make decisions that drive real, measurable improvements.

Supporting excellence across the customer journey

As one of the final Molycop Masterclasses of the year, the strong engagement and active participation highlighted the industry’s appetite for practical, experience-based knowledge sharing.

Molycop thanks the Lundin Mining team for the invitation and for their commitment to continuous improvement.
