Metallurgical testwork to develop a flowsheet is described, beginning with background information required right through to a final process flowsheet. The methodology involves laboratory and pilot plant testing, with a focus on laboratory testing to gather essential parameters about the mineralized samples. The results indicate that the amount and type of testing required significantly vary depending on the complexity of the deposit and the available resources, particularly water quality and geographical considerations. A thorough understanding of the physical factors around the deposit is crucial for successful flowsheet development. The necessity of pilot tests before full-scale production is emphasized, particularly in determining the feasibility of processes such as autogenous grinding. Overall, the document outlines the importance of systematic testing to optimize plant design and operation while managing risks associated with various methods of mineral processing.
