From Ore to Gold: Practical Metallurgy for Efficient, Responsible Processing
This intensive 5-day programme provides mining and process professionals with a strong, practical foundation in applied gold metallurgy, directly linking metallurgical science to real-world processing outcomes. The course combines theory, case studies, and practical exercises to strengthen understanding of how gold ores behave through beneficiation, separation, chemical processing, and thermal treatment. Participants explore the full metallurgical flowsheet—from sampling and comminution through to leaching, pyrometallurgy, waste management, and decarbonisation—developing the technical confidence to design, optimise, and operate gold processing plants more effectively.
Why this course is important
Metallurgical performance is a critical driver of gold recovery, operating cost, and environmental responsibility. This course addresses the technical and sustainability challenges faced by modern gold operations, including ore variability, complex mineralogy, water and waste management, and rising energy pressures. By strengthening understanding of representative sampling, separation efficiency, chemical processing routes, and process integration, participants learn how to improve recoveries while reducing losses, environmental impact, and operating risk. The programme also prepares professionals to design future-ready plants through energy efficiency and decarbonisation strategies, supporting long-term operational resilience.
Who should attend
This course is ideal for:
- Mining metallurgists
- Mining engineers working closely with processing plants
- Process plant engineers
- Chemical engineers involved in mineral processing
- Technical professionals responsible for plant performance, optimisation, or sustainability
What you will learn
Across five technically focused days, participants will gain practical capability in:
- Mineral beneficiation principles, process mineralogy, and representative sampling methods
- Comminution technologies, classification, and recent advances in crushing and grinding
- Gravity separation, flotation, and ore sorting technologies
- Leaching systems and chemical separation processes for gold and complex ores
- Pyrometallurgy and strategies for polymetallic and trace element separation
- Dewatering methods and their role in operational efficiency
- Waste and water management, recycling, and deleterious element sequestration
- Environmental considerations in mineral processing and responsible mining
- Process integration, flowsheet development, and optimisation
- Energy efficiency and process decarbonisation strategies for future-ready gold plants
Participants are led by an internationally renowned metallurgical expert and former Technical Director with experience delivering and commissioning major mining projects and managing large-scale operations, ensuring the learning is firmly grounded in industrial practice.
