In addition to corporate management and leadership, she has 30 years' experience in the research and development of mining technologies and is internationally known for her work in diamond recovery technologies.
Mike McCubbing, P.Geo, manages SRC Geoanalytical Laboratories’ Diamond Laboratory and Services team. He has 20 years’ experience in laboratory techniques for diamond processing, including micro diamond extraction by caustic fusion and kimberlite processing by dense media separation for macro diamond recovery.
Why Plant Recovery Audits Improve Performance
Plant recovery audits provide valuable information to improve the performance of a processing plant. Regular audits help engineers and plant operation managers learn more about ore body characteristics and how they impact the operating plant design. With this information, mining companies can proactively adapt the plant operating parameters to ensure efficient recovery.
Finding Your Next "Big One" Intact: Understanding and mitigating diamond breakage
Diamonds can be broken and damaged during every stage of their liberation and recovery, including during drilling in the exploration phase or during full-scale production, and is often caused by undersized processing equipment. Learn about the benefits of determining diamond damage, what’s involved and how this information can be used to mitigate future damage during production.
Using Magnetic Separation to Improve Commodity Recovery
Magnetic separation offers a simple, inexpensive method to improve commodity recovery. The first step for a processing plant in choosing the right equipment is understanding how magnetic separators work. Learn about the benefits of magnetic sorting, characterization and separation equipment.
Using Diamond Typing to Improve Recovery Techniques
Diamonds possess unique properties that can be exploited when developing a flow sheet for diamond recovery. Learn about the various diamond types and how they are identified, as well as the properties they exhibit as it relates to processing and recovery. You'll also learn how new technologies, such as X-ray transmission (XRT), can improve the efficiency of diamond recovery.
