At the Mupine site, AVEC CONSULTING<\/b> demonstrated that historical mine waste can be reimagined as a strategic resource. Our approach combined rigorous technical sampling with modern metallurgical assessment to unlock the latent value within legacy tailings facilities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We executed a comprehensive characterization program using specialized auger sampling<\/b> techniques across the tailings footprint. By mapping the vertical and horizontal distribution of grades, our team produced high-resolution volume calculations and density profiles for the historical mine rejects.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our experts conducted a detailed assessment of mineral liberation to determine the recovery potential of copper and cobalt from the processed material. This involved mineralogical studies (XRD\/SEM) to understand the oxidation state of the tailings and identify the most efficient chemical pathways for secondary extraction.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

We aligned resource recovery with long-term site remediation goals. By re-processing these tailings, we provided a dual-purpose solution: removing potentially hazardous materials from the environment while funding the final site stabilization through the sale of recovered metals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We delivered a specialized economic analysis specifically tailored to the low-CAPEX nature of tailings re-processing. This included calculating the break-even cut-off grades<\/b> and modeling the financial impact of varying recovery rates, giving the client a clear picture of the project’s profitability.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
