| Solving Mass Balances using Matrix Algebra
Matrix Algebra, also known as linear algebra, is well suited to solving material balance problems encountered in plant design and optimisation. A properly constructed matrix is not sensitive the iterations of circular calculations that can cause 'hard wired' spreadsheet mass balances to fail to properly converge and balance. This paper demonstrates how to construct equations and use matrix algebra on a typical computer spreadsheet to solve an example mass balance during a mineral processing plant design.

| Performing Metallurgical Calculations on Spreadsheets
Computerized spreadsheets are a commonly used tool in the engineering industry. Unfortunately, they are a very generic tool, and do require care when used to perform process engineering calculations. This paper describes many tools and tricks developed in the consulting engineering industry to make calculations more readable and to perform quality assurance.

| Grinding survey - SAB and SABC
Typical survey Scope of Work to conduct a benchmarking "health checkup" on the entire grinding circuit including the SAG and ball mill stages. This will provide the consultant with a basis for assessing the overall grinding efficiency of the circuit and provide base-line data for future circuit optimization.
A secondary objective is to provide model calibration information for a Mine to Mill optimization evaluation.

| Grinding survey - crushing and ball mill
Survey Scope of Work to conduct a benchmarking "health checkup" on the grinding circuit for one ball mill line. This will provide a basis for assessing the overall grinding efficiency of the circuit and provide base-line data for future circuit optimization. A secondary objective is to provide model calibration information for a Mine to Mill optimization evaluation.
