Why attend?

In today’s mining industry, operators face mounting pressure to improve productivity and cost efficiency in an increasingly competitive market. Traditional control systems are often limited to static setpoints, missing opportunities for dynamic optimization. This lack of adaptability contributes to challenges in achieving consistent top-quartile performance, putting the viability of mining operations at risk. Failure to adapt to modern solutions can lead to missed opportunities and declining profitability, making it crucial to find innovative solutions to stay competitive.

Join our expert Dr. Loutjie Coetzee, who has over 16 years of experience in Mining and Advanced Process Control, as he delves into the benefits of AI-powered processing optimization. In this session, you will learn how AI can be leveraged across grinding, flotation and leaching circuits to increase throughput and improve recovery while reducing operational costs.

Key Objectives:

  • How AI supports metallurgists and operators in their roles
  • How AI is used across grinding, flotation, and leaching
  • How dynamic setpoint optimization improves throughput and recovery
