Background GSL were requested to carry out scoping testing of a VMS deposit to begin to determine the flowsheet and expected grades and recoveries. The project was a greenfield exploration project in Western Europe and the deposit contains both Massive Sulphide (MS) and Stockwork (STKW) ore types. Method Mineralogical assessment…

Rafaella Resources Limited (ASX:RFR) has engaged Grinding Solutions Ltd (GSL) to assist with the completion of the Feasibility Study on their Spanish Tin & Tungsten Santa Comba project. Scope of Work GSL will be conducting a metallurgical test programme including; Mineral liberation analysis; Coarse and fine gravity concentration and flotation…
Click to read moreDr Kathryn Hadler of Grinding Solutions managed a research project supported by Plymouth University investigating the impact of re-grind particle size on flotation performance. The collaborative research was presented at the Minerals Engineering International Flotation 15 conference in Cape Town. Findings from the research were as follows: Mineral liberation analysis by…
Click to read moreGrinding Solutions have undertaken several recent projects centered around the concept of the re-grind optimisation with respect to metallurgical and milling performance. Optimisation of grind size and mineral liberation is key to final metal recoveries and concentrate grades, the financial benefits of fine tuning grind size can therefore be huge….
Click to read moreIt’s been a busy summer in GSL’s new facility. We have been making full use of our extra lab space and all of our equipment in numerous experimental projects, including two large kaolin refining projects and a sulphide regrind optimisation study. In addition, we have carried out several SMD signature…
Click to read moreHere at GSL, we are always looking to increase our understanding of fine and ultrafine grinding so that we can offer innovative solutions for stirred milling performance optimisation. Recently we have been busy carrying out SMD research investigating media selection and grinding performance, particularly focusing on blends of ceramic grinding…
