Eurus Mineral Consultants
Eurus Mineral Consultants (“EMC”) was formed in early 2002 by Martyn Hay and operates as a one-man company. In addition to process consulting, EMC offers specialist milling and flotation consulting services to the mining industry world-wide.
The company has developed and uses SUPASIM®, a proprietary flotation simulation program and an empirical mill sizing methodology and also maintains a large database of milling and flotation operations as well as associated laboratory and pilot test data to characterise ores and predict plant performance.
To date SUPASIM® has been used to simulate and design four operating float plants from laboratory data only. SUPASIM® has also been used to simulate and optimise over forty other plants covering Platinum Group Metals, Base Metal Sulphides, Pyrite/Gold,Furnace Slag, Tailings Dams and Cassiterite.
EMC has also developed commercially available software, KinCalc®, which determines flotation kinetics from laboratory and pilot rate test data, graphs test data and results, produces summary tables and stores all data and kinetics in either Access or SQL.
