The following is a brief summary of the projects that TTMS has been involved with since inception:
Australian Mineral Sands: for GR Engineering commissioning and performance test on KLPL modified Doral dry mill at Picton near Bunbury WA (November / December 2015) |
|
New Zealand Iron Sands (September to November 2014 |
|
Brazilian scheelite (for Largo Resources February 2013) |
|
|
|
Site visit to WCM wolframite mine, near Dimbulah, QLD to review and discuss the flow sheet with management, in particular additional dry processing steps to improve product quality. Subsequently this involved sourcing an HTR within Australia. Further assistance in Feb 2013 involved a review of past documentation to determine possible upgrading and processing of the feed to enhance production. |
|
Site visit to silica sand mine and processing plant north of Auckland, New Zealand, to advise on ways to improve the product quality to enable a glass sand product to be made. This involved numerous recommendations including a more suitable deposit, screening changes, additional spiral stages, sampling and analysis. |
|
Lead process engineer involved in process flow sheet design of the Grande Cote minerals sands project in Senegal, at the CPG engineering office on the Gold Coast, QLD. This involved checking process mass flow and process and instrumentation diagrams, writing control and operating philosophy documents for the wet concentration plant and mineral separation plant (wet and dry circuits) and attending meetings including HAZOP. |
|
|
On site metallurgical consultant Heemskirk Resources (Dayton Mining) Los Santos scheelite mine in Spain. This involved setting up improved metallurgical accounting procedures (database, laboratory, automatic sampling), improving plant operating procedures and flow sheet changes in the concentrator to lift recovery and concentrate grade, and instigate investigations into new methods of recovering fine scheelite using enhanced gravity separators. |
|
Metallurgical consultant to F& O for a new concentrator at Cape Flattery Silica Mines, QLD. This included an on-site stint to evaluate the existing plant operations and procedures, and make recommendations for the proposed new plant. |
|
The metallurgical component of a team that carried out an audit of Iluka Resources recently commissioned Murray Basin mineral sands projects (Jacinth Ambrosia and Kulwin mines and Narngulu and Hamilton MSPs) to confirm the validity of their respective production forecasts for 2010. |
|
|
|
Mozambique mineral sands (for RocheMT, August to December 2008) Roche Mining carried out the metallurgical test work and supplied most of the separation equipment used in this major mineral sands project at Moma in northern Mozambique. The project was constructed by a JV of Multiplex and Bateman for Kenmare Resources and was commissioned last year. TTMS was asked to assist with carrying out a “Test after Completion” on the wet concentrator. This involved ensuring that plant was set up for the test to proceed, and then eventually monitor the metallurgical performance over a seven day period. |
