Mineral prices are known to fluctuate. It is important to maximize the throughput when prices are high and minimize costs when prices are down.
Lakeside has teamed up with Spartan Controls to provide state-of-the-art Advanced Control solutions for the mining industry in Ontario and Manitoba. Advanced control offers industry operators a way to
get more out of their existing process at high rates of return without major equipment upgrades or replacements.
These Advanced Control solutions cover the grinding circuits, floatation cells and thickeners amongst others. This webinar will explore and explain these solutions.
DID YOU KNOW? There are over 42 active mines in Ontario and Manitoba with also 24+ more mines in advanced exploration stage. Most of these sites mine gold, nickel, zinc and copper.
After this webinar you will understand the production and economic benefits of advanced process control and how it can be applied to your processes.
