The Operational Challenge

Why standard off-the-shelf solutions fail in mining.

Operating plants frequently suffer from unexplained gold leakage in tailings (>0.4 g/t Au), carbon fouling/passivation, chronic slurry pump blowouts, and throughput limitations below nameplate capacity.

The Green Ngoria Engineering GuaranteeEvery flowsheet, tank geometry, and equipment configuration is validated through real laboratory testwork and mass-balanced for your specific ore lithology.
Plant Optimization & Upgrades
Systematic Execution

Our Engineering & Delivery Approach

We combine analytical process modeling with hands-on site metallurgy to achieve verified operational results.

01

Comprehensive on-site metallurgical sampling across grinding, classification, leaching, elution, and tailings.

02

Grind size P80 optimization, Bond Work Index verification, and cyclone cluster pressure tuning.

03

Reagent consumption optimization (sodium cyanide, lime, oxygen sparging, and flocculants).

04

Circuit debottlenecking including high-chrome slurry pump retrofits, interstage screen upgrades, and elution skids.
