Having identified where the weaknesses in your operation are, it is possible to devise laboratory experiments to
test potential solutions. These programs may range from diagnostic test conducted on plant pulps to determine
if changes made in the plant have resulted in a positive shift in metallurgy to simple laboratory flotation tests to
screen reagents. The development of these ideas is discussed by Kym Runge in Chapter 9: Laboratory Flotation
Testing – An Essential Tool for Ore Characterisation.
Invariably encouraging laboratory solutions are applied to the operating plant with varying degrees of success.
In Chapter 10 (Designing and Analysing Plant Trials), Tim Napier-Munn will discuss the steps required to
conduct a successful plant trial and how the data generated may be analysed to give a statistically meaningful
outcome.
Finally, Joe Pease (Chapter 11: Economics and Communication) will supply a philosophical note on how best
to communicate solutions developed by the technocrat to both operations personnel and management teams
such that the economic benefits can be realised.
