Testwork · AZ-UFR
Prove the value on your material
Mine-specific testwork validates the AZ-UFR against your orebody and circuit, and quantifies the recovery, cost and environmental case before any capital decision.
Why testwork
Generic figures do not de-risk a capital decision
Every orebody and circuit is different. Rather than publish generic percentages, AZTEC establishes the performance of the AZ-UFR on your material through onsite testwork.
The results validate the design parameters for your operation and feed the financial modelling used for feasibility and investment analysis, giving a measured basis for the decision rather than an estimate.
What testwork validates
The measures that shape the business case
Gold recovery
Additional gold recoverable from your as-arising tailings discharge, measured against current circuit performance.
Operating cost
Change in detox reagent consumption and the associated OPEX impact for your circuit.
Cyanide reduction
Reduction in free and WAD cyanide concentrations in the treated slurry, supporting ICMI-aligned management.
Process stability
Reactor behaviour across your range of slurry densities and operating conditions.
Design parameters
The engineering inputs needed to configure the AZ-UFR circuit for your plant.
Financial model inputs
Measured data to support feasibility and investment analysis.
The high-level process
What to expect
An indicative sequence. The exact scope is agreed with you and depends on your material and objectives.
Enquiry and qualification
You share the basics of your operation and objectives. AZTEC confirms suitability and the information needed.
Sample and data
Representative material and circuit data are provided so the testwork can reflect your conditions.
Testwork
The AZ-UFR is run on your material to measure recovery, reagent and cyanide behaviour and process stability.
Results and financial modelling
Results are compiled and used to build the feasibility and investment case for your operation.
Engineering and integration
If you proceed, custom engineering configures the circuit for optimal integration with your plant.
