Doubling the value of rock samples, revolutionizing orebody knowledge

Continuous geotechnical and geometallurgical characterization for improved mine design, mill performance, production planning and safety.

The Minpraxis Tester (MPT) - Rapid, High-Resolution Rock Characterization

Our cutting-edge Minpraxis Tester (MPT) is a compression-breakage test device that rapidly and continuously processes half-core samples lengthwise, as well as lump samples, providing high-resolution rock strength characterization, thereby enhancing the safety and operational efficiency of mining operations.

The MPT

The MPT reduces the cost of recovering test samples by 50-75%.

REDUCED COSTS

The MPT provides a 50-fold increase in the strength data.

STRENGTH DATA

The MPT provides the strength information rapidly to accelerate production revenues.

PROJECT TIME

The MPT reduces the risk of mine failures by providing a better understanding of the orebody.

MINE FAILURES

All of these factors lead to improved resource utilization.
