Problem
Characterizing rock breakage variability in mining operations is often cost-prohibitive and requires large sample volumes, hindering detailed geometallurgical assessments and comminution design optimization. This limitation impedes accurate mapping of rock properties and can lead to suboptimal process control and reduced productivity.
Solution
Geopyora provides a low-cost, small-sample rock breakage characterization test designed for integration into geochemical assaying workflows. The test utilizes discrete samples, such as those from drill cores or crushed rock, to generate accurate measurements of comminution parameters and rock mechanical properties. This enables mining companies to perform detailed variability mapping for geometallurgical applications, optimize comminution circuit design, and enhance process control. The data output facilitates a deeper understanding of orebody heterogeneity, directly supporting improved operational productivity.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mining companies, particularly those involved in geometallurgy, comminution design, and process control, who require detailed rock characterization data.
