Description
Designed for learners entering mineral processing and extractive metallurgy fields, this course provides a comprehensive exploration of the end-to-end mineral processing workflow. Participants will analyse core processes including ore pre-treatment, comminution, screening and classification, separation techniques, and dewatering. Using interactive scenarios, process simulations, and applied examples, learners will engage with real-world operational contexts and equipment selection decisions. Through structured activities and assessments, participants will evaluate how each stage influences efficiency, recovery, product quality, and environmental performance. The course culminates in the ability to integrate process knowledge to optimise mineral processing operations. Ideal as a foundational programme within mining and industrial processing pathways, this course supports progression into advanced operational and technical roles.
