Our MassMin2024 paper presents a geotechnical study using samples from Agnico Eagle’s Goldex operation with the Minpraxis Tester (MPT). The study shows how the MPT continuously measures the strength of half-core samples, detecting variations in rock characteristics and correlating with standard geotechnical tests.

“The Minpraxis Tester (MPT) is a compression-breakage test device that treats half-core samples continuously length-wise, providing a high degree of rock characterization in comparison to conventional methods. Furthermore, it is able to extract this information while operating as a crusher when used in a conventional assay preparation workflow. This expands the characterized volume of a […]
Multiple trade-off studies have shown that grinding circuits with high pressure grinding rolls (HPGR) can be more energy efficient than the circuits with semi-autogenous (SAG) mills. However, such studies are difficult to conduct because the current practice of sizing and selecting the HPGR requires large samples for pilot-scale testing that are expensive and difficult to […]
A cave-to-mill study being conducted at the New Afton block caving operation demonstrated the potential for sensor-based ore sorting equipment to reject waste and improve the grade of feed to the mill. The lack of selectivity and potential for dilution entry associated with the block cave mining method results in many caving operations having to […]
