| The Gold Industry faces challenges more urgent than ever before. • Large, high grade, free-milling deposits are rarely discovered and companies are turning to lower grade, complex and refractory orebodies to maintain reserves. • Human resources are still the key to successful operation, yet skilled gold metallurgists are in short supply. • Investors punish deviation from guidance figures, yet the tools to optimise and to predict performance are not well suited to dealing with other than simple free milling orebodies. • OHS&E issues are in the forefront of concerns, yet readily applied tools and know-how are not available to companies to facilitate adherence to duty of care standards. This proposal offers companies the opportunity to tap into a world class R&D project at a high leverage of sponsorship investment. This proposal is structured around four research themes: • Capturing and Preserving Industry Knowledge • Predicting and Improving Ore Processing • Protecting the Licence to Operate • Processing Difficult Ores | |
