Mineralogy sits at every stage of the resource development pipeline, but how well are most exploration teams actually using it?

This half-day workshop, presented by Zofia Swierczek and Dr Jing Li will run you through the full picture:

  • A comparative breakdown of the key mineralogy techniques
  • How mineralogy data can sharpen and direct exploration targeting
  • The role of mineralogy in ore body knowledge (OBK)
  • How mineralogy feeds into process design and what it means for recovery
  • Real-world case histories with practical workflows and results

This is a chance to see the full arc, from early-stage exploration through to extraction in one focused session, backed by worked examples rather than theory.

Who Should Attend

  • Exploration geologists
  • Process metallurgists
  • Mine lab engineers/technicians
  • Geoscientists
