GSQ/UQ Webinar - Secondary Prospectivity

Hear from the Sustainable Minerals Institute's Mine Waste Transformation through Characterisation (MIWATCH) group as they share their secondary prospectivity results in Queensland and highlight the importance of metal deportment and mineral characterisation studies to unlock value by making better metallurgical decisions.

Presentations will discuss how waste materials can be separated using new sorting and high voltage pulse technologies, and once minerals of interest are concentrated, how metals can be extracted to produce saleable critical metal products.

Finally, this webinar will provide an insight into how hyperspectral technologies can be used from the outset of a project to reduce environmental footprints to achieve better, long-term environmental outcomes.
