Gravity Gold 2010 - “Optimising Recovery”

Working in multidisciplinary teams is a feature that distinguishes our global mining industry. Gravity Gold 2010 will bring together exploration and mining geologists, mining engineers and metallurgists.

It aims to explore the issues of mining operations that are characterised by coarse-gravity gold mineralisation with an often high-nugget effect, including both hard rock and alluvial systems. These deposits usually require strong geological control, selective mining methods and apply gravity-based processing technology. Key areas of common interest include: understanding the orebody; resource and reserve estimation; predicting grade and metallurgical variability; maximising and/or optimising mining and metallurgical extraction; definition of project risk and economics; tailings and waste handling; and environmental sustainability.

This two day meeting will share real problems and learning experiences in a multidisciplinary environment, within the rural setting of the Central Victorian Goldfields. Papers are sought from operations, consulting and R&D based professionals.
