History

Overview

Molycop recognises the complexities involved in starting a new mine operation, from commissioning critical equipment to estimating key parameters for budgeting and performance optimisation.

To support smooth and efficient mine start-up, Molycop offers a range of customised services, including ore sampling and abrasion index analysis, grinding media sizing and mill operational evaluations using Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations. Molycop’s expert services extend to operator training, grinding media consumption estimation, and handling, ensuring new mining operations launch with the right tools and knowledge in place.

Typical Uses

Molycop's mine start-up services are used by mining companies who want to ensure a smooth and efficient launch of new mining operations. These companies leverage Molycop services including ore sampling, grinding media sizing, DEM simulations for mill evaluation and operator training to optimise equipment performance, reduce operational risks and improve overall mine efficiency from the outset.

Benefits

Reduce early operational issues: Accurate ore sampling, abrasion index analysis and grinding media sizing mitigate early operational issues.
Cost and resource efficiency: Estimate grinding media consumption and optimise transport, storage and handling to minimise waste and reduce operational costs.
Enhance mill design: Evaluation of mill liner design, combined with DEM simulations, fine-tunes mill performance for better throughput and stability.
Comprehensive support and training: Receive training on Molycop Tools software and modules to manage operations effectively.

Continuous improvement with MillROC support – Edikan Case Study

The initial installation and set-up of MillSlicer, MillStar and MillROC at the Edikan Gold Mine in Ghana's Ashanti Gold belt was completed by April 2019. The optimisation strategy resulted in a sustainable increase in throughput of 27% in 8 months.

MillROC Improvement Project at Australian Nickel Mine

MillROC Improvement Project at Australian Nickel Mine

The objective of a MillROC improvement project at a leading Australian nickel mine was to implement a new control philosophy around the grinding circuit, which allowed for stabilisation of key operating variables. The project led to significant improvement in circuit efficiency, reduction in energy requirements and increases in throughput.
