Sepro and Met-Solve Laboratories volunteered to give hands on demonstrations at this year’s West Langley Elementary School Science Fair!  Sepro’s own Penny Longman (BSc(Hons), M.EDes, A.Ag.) was responsible for coordinating the event.

Met-Solve's Proppant Sand Techician, Robin Neale, gave a demonstration showing how mineral samples are processed and analyzed, with the help of some curious students. Sepro also had the students involved as our Sales Representative, Tim Peters, gave a demonstration on the stratification abilities of screening for industrial and mining applications using a Sepro-Atalay vibrating screen.

Sepro and Met-Solve’s goal was to facilitate interest in the science of mining and mineral processing, while educating youth about it’s important role in Canada’s economical sector.

 Members of our team will be attending CIM as delegates representing Sepro! They are eager to meet with other attendees, discuss future prospects, and share new solutions in mineral processing that Sepro has to offer.

Our CIM Delegates:

Seydou Keita - Sales North & West Africa

Mike Phillips - Assay Lab President

 The CIM Conference and Exhibition is a highly regarded and increasingly attended annual event that features a vast number of major industry exhibitors, as well as significant presentations and speakers. Taking place in Edmonton, Alberta, it is one of Canada's leading mining trade shows and the signature event of the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. This year CIM runs from the 6th to the 9th of May at the Shaw Conference Center in downtown Edmonton.

Members of the Sepro team are heading to South America next week to be a part of ExpoMin 2012!

Held in Chile every two years, ExpoMin is a unique opportunity to make new friends and network with members of the Latin American mining industry. This year the exhibition will be held from the 9th - 13th of April in Santiago. With expectations of there being over 70,000 attendees this year, we look forward to meeting professionals from South America and around the globe.

Chile has seen cited as being one of the world's largest markets for mining exporters. The region produces over 40% of the world's pre-eminent copper, and has seen a growth in gold production. As Chile has proven to be one of Latin America's largest resources in the sophisticated mining industry, Sepro is extremely pleased to be exhibiting at ExpoMin 2012.

Our booth number is C02-2. We are located in the Canadian Pavilion, Hall 2. Check out the map below to find us! Sepro's Latin American Sales Team will be in attendance, come visit our booth to find out more about Sepro's increasing role in the South American mining industry (and maybe grab a Sepro T-Shirt!).

This year's Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada Convention was a whirlwind event!

Last year was a great success when Sepro attended the PDAC convention, and there is no doubt that this year's internationally attended mining conference and trade show will be any different. Over 25,000 delegates were in attendance at PDAC 2011, from 125 countries! Sepro Mineral Systems and Met-Solve Laboratories are pleased to announce that we will be exhibitors this year at PDAC 2012, taking place March 4-7th at the Metro Toronto Convention Center. Our booth number is 1012, come by and see us!

Following up on the last blog post talking about the purpose of agglomeration drums, I thought it would be a good opportunity to share a couple videos of agglomeration drums in operation. I have two videos this time, one showing crushed ore being fed to two Sepro 3x8m agglomeration drums in Mexico and the other showing material being agglomerated inside the drum. If a picture is worth a thousand words then a video should be worth somewhat more than that so I can feel okay keeping this post brief. . . 

As always, feel free to contact Sepro directly with any questions or comments!

I often get questions about the purpose of agglomeration in heap leaching operations so I thought this blog post would be a good opportunity to give a brief overview of the agglomeration process as well as talk about when it is and isn't necessary. When an ore is crushed, often a lot of fine particles are created. These particles can prevent leaching solution from moving evenly through a heap and this can dramatically decrease recovery. Agglomeration solves this problem by sticking the fine particles either to each other or to larger particles in the ore so that the leach solution can flow evenly through the ore for maximum recovery. Continue reading for a more detailed explanation . . . 

The largest country in the world. Home to over 140 million people. Nine time zones (previously 11!). The world's largest reserve of mineral resources, energy resources and forest reserves. One quarter of the world's fresh water. Birth place of the second best group of hockey players in the world (Canada is number 1, just fyi).

Sepro now welcomes the Russian language to our website!

Sepro has a long history of doing business with Russia and other CIS countries so we are very happy to have finished our Russian language translation of the Sepro website. We hope that this will help all of our Russian friends and business partners better understand our technology and the products and services that we are able to offer. We look forward to continuing our strong presence in Russia and other CIS countries. I have personally spent time in both Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan and I can never say enough positive things about the people and the culture.

Our partner in Russia and other CIS countries is PRO Eurasia based out of Moscow. You can find their contact information under the "Global Representative" section of our website; they are really fantastic people and will be able to help you with all your mineral processing needs.

Na zdorovje!
