From Ore to Gold: Practical Metallurgy for Efficient, Responsible Processing

This intensive 5-day programme provides mining and process professionals with a strong, practical foundation in applied gold metallurgy, directly linking metallurgical science to real-world processing outcomes. The course combines theory, case studies, and practical exercises to strengthen understanding of how gold ores behave through beneficiation, separation, chemical processing, and thermal treatment. Participants explore the full metallurgical flowsheet—from sampling and comminution through to leaching, pyrometallurgy, waste management, and decarbonisation—developing the technical confidence to design, optimise, and operate gold processing plants more effectively.

Why this course is important

Metallurgical performance is a critical driver of gold recovery, operating cost, and environmental responsibility. This course addresses the technical and sustainability challenges faced by modern gold operations, including ore variability, complex mineralogy, water and waste management, and rising energy pressures. By strengthening understanding of representative sampling, separation efficiency, chemical processing routes, and process integration, participants learn how to improve recoveries while reducing losses, environmental impact, and operating risk. The programme also prepares professionals to design future-ready plants through energy efficiency and decarbonisation strategies, supporting long-term operational resilience.

Who should attend

This course is ideal for:

  • Mining metallurgists
  • Mining engineers working closely with processing plants
  • Process plant engineers
  • Chemical engineers involved in mineral processing
  • Technical professionals responsible for plant performance, optimisation, or sustainability

What you will learn

Across five technically focused days, participants will gain practical capability in:

  • Mineral beneficiation principles, process mineralogy, and representative sampling methods
  • Comminution technologies, classification, and recent advances in crushing and grinding
  • Gravity separation, flotation, and ore sorting technologies
  • Leaching systems and chemical separation processes for gold and complex ores
  • Pyrometallurgy and strategies for polymetallic and trace element separation
  • Dewatering methods and their role in operational efficiency
  • Waste and water management, recycling, and deleterious element sequestration
  • Environmental considerations in mineral processing and responsible mining
  • Process integration, flowsheet development, and optimisation
  • Energy efficiency and process decarbonisation strategies for future-ready gold plants

Participants are led by an internationally renowned metallurgical expert and former Technical Director with experience delivering and commissioning major mining projects and managing large-scale operations, ensuring the learning is firmly grounded in industrial practice.

What participants say

1 / 3
  • Brilliant course led by a true expert. I gained strong insight into leaching systems, pyrometallurgy, and flowsheet design. My favourite part was learning about process integration and decarbonisation—it tied everything together perfectly.
    Yared, Plant Manager — Metals & Minerals Processing
  • Fantastic delivery and technical clarity. The sessions on comminution, separation technologies, and environmental stewardship were extremely valuable. I especially enjoyed learning how to integrate sustainability into metallurgical decision-making.
    Naledi, Process Engineer — Mining Operations
  • The speaker was outstanding—clear, practical, and incredibly experienced. I learned how to better link mineralogy with plant performance. What I enjoyed most was the focus on real processing challenges and optimisation strategies.
    Ali, Senior Metallurgist — Gold Mining
