SUMMARY:METS Technology Showcase: The Philippines
DESCRIPTION:The Philippines is seeking to transform its mining sector into a key economic growth engine. It is one of the world’s most mineral-rich countries\, with significant deposits of nickel\, copper\, gold and other minerals essential to global industry and the energy transition. \nWhile the opportunities are significant\, the Philippines’ geology and terrain present distinctive technical characteristics\, such as complex nickel laterite orebodies with variable grades\, a tropical climate\, harsh terrain\, and atypical porphyry copper-gold geology. These conditions call for specialised innovation\, technology and expertise\, creating a strong alignment with the world-leading solutions offered by the Australian METS industry. \nThis webinar will feature five world-leading Australian METS companies as they explore the innovations being implemented at mining operations globally to control orebody grades\, reduce variability\, and support more productive and profitable mines. \nPresentations will showcase solutions driving operational value in areas such as: \n\nSensor-based ore sorting & grade control for nickel laterite and copper-gold blending\nGeometallurgy & mineralogical characterisation for variable\, weathered ore bodies\nFlowsheet optimisation for nickel feed preparation and porphyry copper-gold circuits\nRecovery improvement technologies such as flotation\, separation and beneficiation\nReal-time process control\, plant data analytics & digital twins for metallurgical performance\nManaging water\, tailings and waste for complex orebodies\n\nJoin this Webinar to understand the opportunities to foster mining technology collaboration between Australia and The Philippines.
