Bio
Nick Redman
I was very pleased with the services offered by Process Mineralogical Consulting. Geoff and the team completed a detailed examination of a molybdenum concentrate and tailings products generated during a laboratory test program. I was pleased with the quality of the mineralogical and liberation data; finding the presentation of the results to be logical and intuitive. I also found the image maps useful for visualising the results. I was particularly pleased with the result interpretation: Geoff provided valuable insight by linking the results with expected flotation performance

Geoff worked on a mineralogical assessment of a difficult low grade Brazilian ore for Rio Tinto Brazil. The ore was of a type not seen in Australia and not common in South America. Geoff did an excellent job exploring the mineral associations and explaining the potential for beneficiation.
