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! 

Floor Plan for PDAC 2012

 This year Sepro Mineral Systems Corp will be showcasing the iCON, a small, simple version of the Sepro Falcon Semi-Batch Centrifugal Gold Concentrator. Check out the clip below to find out more.

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!

In this blog post we are featuring the Sepro Mineral Systems Lime Slaking Ball Mill. Lime slaking ball mills turn quick lime into hydrated lime for pH regulation in industrial processes. This particular lime slaker is a 1.2x2.4m ball mill that is in operation at a copper-gold mine is British Columbia, Canada.

Please contact Sepro for more information on lime slaking or ball mills.
