In this in-person and livestream presentation, the speakers will explore how the green transition is impacting minerals processing design. There are two key themes that will accelerate the attraction of flexible and modular processing over the next decade. These are the commitment to low emissions mining, including electrification and renewable-energy use, and the exhaustion of large higher-grade deposits, with satellite deposits becoming the next targets for new mines or mine extensions.
The presenters have been involved in an industry collaboration project that seeks to simulate the value of flexible mine design - the ‘Scalable and Adaptable Mining Challenge’, within the Think and Act Differently (TAD) incubator, powered by OZ Minerals.
Complementary to the work of the challenge cohort, this presentation will explore how alternate emerging milling technologies and minerals processing design can support a more flexible mine. Alternate comminution and flotation circuit technologies and configurations are compared which focus on flexible applications. This presentation will also explore considerations for shifting power use towards renewables and daytime use as well as design for intermittency.
