Core Resources recently launched its technical webinar series, aimed at delivering practical and innovative solutions for minerals processing and hydrometallurgical projects at every development stage. The inaugural session focused on “Plant Opportunity Assessments,” highlighting strategies to enhance plant performance and operational efficiency.

In many processing plants, operations and maintenance teams are often engaged in daily tasks and immediate issue resolution, leaving limited time for in-depth analysis of plant delay data. This challenge is compounded by inadequate data capture systems, inconsistent recording protocols, and variable data quality, all of which hinder effective defect elimination and operational improvements.

Core Resources addresses these challenges through comprehensive Plant Opportunity Assessments. These assessments aim to identify, quantify, and mitigate controllable downtime sources, including equipment reliability issues, suboptimal operating conditions, and management practices. By reducing such downtime, plants can achieve increased annual uptime, leading to higher revenue and improved metallurgical performance through reduced process disturbances and enhanced equipment efficiency.

The webinar was presented by Kim Ngoviky, a seasoned professional with 20 years of international consulting experience across the mining, metals, and infrastructure sectors. His expertise encompasses management consulting, process and project engineering, design, study and project management, and asset management. Over the past six years, Kim has concentrated on process engineering and projects aimed at cost optimisation and operational improvement for mineral processing plants, heavy mining fleets, and infrastructure projects.

For those who missed the live session, a recording of the webinar is available here.
