About us
MinAssist Pty Ltd is a progressive young company offering specialist services to the minerals industry in the interpretation of mineralogical information for metallurgical applications.
The fusion of mineralogy and metallurgy, while steadily gaining acceptance
within the industry, is under-utilised and its many advantages are still
becoming apparent. MinAssist aims to bring the benefits of complete mineralogical
understanding of our client’s ore to solving metallurgical problems.
This understanding will minimise technical risk to our clients through
definitive characterisation using cutting edge techniques and allow effective
optimisation of existing process flow sheets. We utilise a holistic approach
to ore characterisation, applying top performing automated mineralogical
techniques in combination with traditional methods to provide the most
effective determination of expected ore behaviour.
Utilising the expertise of Dr Will Goodall, MinAssist specializes in the characterisation and optimisation of precious metals ores. The current climate of increased metal prices but increasingly complex ore reserves makes proper understanding of the mineralogy and metal deportment vitally important. This is readily apparent in the gold mining industry where easily recoverable free-milling deposits are being exhausted and increasingly complex, refractory gold deposits are replacing them. Our focus on gold mineralogy and Dr Will Goodall’s position as an expert in the field allows MinAssist to help our clients maximise the benefits available in the current buoyant market by establishing an accurate understanding of the deportment of gold within their ore, enabling more efficient process design or optimisation.
MinAssist’s focus is to be a world leader in the use of innovative technology for determination of mineralogy and how it may affect the metallurgical behaviour of our client’s ore. We recognize the role that new technologies will play over the coming years and have established ourselves at the forefront of this push. However, we also recognize the importance of traditional techniques and how they can complement new technologies to enhance the results achieved.
