For its Wednesday, November 29, 2017, meeting, the Toronto Discussion Group of CIM’s Management and Economics Society is pleased to welcome:
Aron Cleugh
Managing Director, M.Plan International
who will deliver a presentation on:
Processing Considerations for Specialty Materials Project Development
Abstract: When developing a specialty minerals or metals project, tonnes and grade are not necessarily the most important aspect. The project’s unique mineralogy, metallurgy, and corresponding achievable product quality are often the determining factor of potential success. Specialty deposits differ from base or precious metals deposits in that their economic viability is significantly affected by factors such as morphology, mineralogy, chemical impurities, and market aspects. This presentation uses flake graphite to illustrate this reality.
BIO: Aron has a Bachelor’s degree in metallurgical engineering from the University of Toronto and an MBA from Queen’s University. His career in the mining industry began in the technical services group at the Kidd Creek concentrator in 1998. Aron’s operations experience includes Cu, Zn, Al, Ni, and Co processing. In 2007 Aron moved into project engineering when he joined Fluor. In addition to numerous studies, Aron’s engineering experience includes lead process roles in the detailed engineering phase of two complex hydrometallurgical projects – Pueblo Viejo and the Long Harbour Processing Plant. Aron recently became the Managing Director of M.Plan International where he focuses on helping resource companies advance their specialty mineral projects, and providing valuations and due diligence on specialty minerals projects for financial institutions.
