01Frame the question
A focused review starts by clarifying the process or equipment decision, the information available and which assumptions need checking. Further testwork or qualified specialist input may be appropriate, depending on the scope.
Relevant inputs may include representative sample and testwork records and the process route under consideration. Which inputs matter depends on the mineral, project and operating requirements.
Compare options on a common basis
- Feed characteristics and process requirements.
- Throughput and recovery assumptions, operating conditions and site constraints.
- What each capital and operating cost estimate includes.
Note where information is missing or assumptions differ, then identify which could materially affect the decision and what next checks may be appropriate within the agreed scope.
Technical conclusions depend on representative data, the work scope and appropriate specialist review.
