Geometallurgy

Geometallurgy - IOS Géosciences
Because mines produce minerals, not metals!

The geometallurgical approach, based on quantitative mineral characterization, decompartmentalizes geology and metallurgy.

IOS Géosciences

It has proved its worth in optimizing the exploitation of complex deposits. This characterization is best carried out very early in the project development process, making it possible to foresee potential extraction difficulties or the environmental risks associated with mining tailings. IOS Geosciences has been a pioneer in applying this approach to the mineral exploration stage.

You'll benefit from characterizing the minerals responsible for your mineralization, the ecnomically-viable elements (by-products or co-products) and deleterious elements, as well as mineral associations. Our experience coupled with our mineral analysis laboratory offers expertise unique to the industry.

We view mineralization through a different lens!
