What Makes an Ideal Reagent Program?

Consistent with YOUR business strategy e.g., maximizing recovery while minimizing penalties.

Should not focus solely on chemistry but consider a wider scope of available solutions

Use Customized, formulated products in the selection suite because they:- Are Robust- work consistently even through large variations in operation. - Are targeted for maximizing selectivity and recovery of all values.- Enable metallurgical benefits in plant use e.g., minimize gangue or penalty

elements.- Have consistent quality and performance.- Are designed with “Health & Safety” in mind: permit, toxicity, handling &

transportation.

Why Flotation Matrix 100 Formulations Make Sense

Recovery of Coarse Middlings & Fine particles (Accommodate grind variability)

Improved Recovery of ALL Value Minerals (Different value mineral species have different affinities for reagents)

Optimized Cost-Performance (Lowest Total Cost of Ownership)

Co-Product Recovery (some collector components are better at recovering co-value products such as Au, Mo)

Unique Products (Driving for superior performance)

Create ADDED VALUE ; Improved productivity, metallurgy & ease of use

Robustness over a wide range of Operating Conditions & Pulp Chemistry changes (pH, slimes, Ep, water composition, ore variability)
