Ore characterisation and process mineralogy

MTRC provides high-quality, cost efficient, reliable mineralogy work performed by a team with decades of mining and production experience. We offer mineralogical support services related to geo-metallurgy, heap leaching, concentrator optimisation and characterisation of other materials.

MTRC Comminution

Optimise your plant with reliable parameter data. FLS' Comminution Lab offers all testing components for equipment sizing, and we thoroughly train our staff in testing procedures to ensure consistency and accuracy. We offer a comprehensive range of comminution testing to determine the ideal plant parameters that will optimise your processing plant.

MTRC Dawson metallurgical laboratories

Improve mineral processing productivity, grade and recovery, through reliable analysis and testing of mineral bodies and flowsheets. FLS MTRC Dawson Metallurgical Laboratories provide metallurgical testing for ore amenability, process development, flowsheet layout and plant design.

MTRC Solid/liquid separation

Optimise your evaluation of new or existing processes, either to improve your operation or to determine design criteria for new equipment selection. The FLS' Separations Laboratories offer experienced engineers to assist you in the evaluation of all your processes. Laboratories are located regionally, and services include contract testing, process engineering, bench testing, pilot testing and research and development. Your test results will offer material- and process-specific conditions, which will ultimately provide efficiency throughout your plant system.

MTRC Analytical services

Get the accurate and precise results your mineral business depends on. The FLS Analytical Laboratory provides quality geochemical analyses to support the Minerals Testing and Research Center facility, allowing us to provide complete mineralogical characterisation and metallurgical testing programs. A combination of well-established methods, coupled with advanced analytical instrumentation, provide you with empirical data to inform your every decision.

MTRC Pilot operations

Get advanced, support for solid/liquid separation testing. FLS' Pilot Operations Group and regional laboratories offer a variety of advanced pilot-scale equipment; we build pilot units as ready-to-go installations, and include the required major pieces of process equipment, control panels and ancillary equipment — all skid-mounted for easy transportation and installation.
