EXM435: Advanced Topics in Extractive Metallurgy

Students learn to apply the principles of extractive metallurgical project design at pre-feasibility stage including project planning, management, process design, flowsheet development, equipment selection, OHE&S and cost analysis.  A written report and oral defence covering all project aspects will be submitted by each student team working on a specified metal/mineral extraction process. The unit is supported by Minerals Tertiary Education Council and is run in conjunction with University of Queensland and the Western Australian School of Mines.
