Institute TOMS took part in the international scientific symposium Miner’s Week 2025 held by MISIS University, February 3–7. The specialists of Mining audit and consulting department delivered a report on advanced approaches to create geometallurgical block models and assess process variability of ores.
In December 2024, Institute TOMS jointly with specialists of Tufekcioglu company and Sever Minerals JSC successfully carried out trials of a new advanced lab-scale flotation cell with computer-aided process control – TK LabFroth by Tufekcioglu.
Institute TOMS acted as one of the key sponsors of the 20th MINEX Mining and Exploration Forum that took place in Moscow on 9-10 October, 2024. The event was held under the slogan “People. Technologies. Mineral Resources”

Institute TOMS took part in an annual contest “Russian Mining Award”
Institute TOMS took part in an annual contest “Russian Mining Award” (https://2023.minexrussia.com/rossijskaya-gornaya-nagrada/) which is informally called “Mining Oscar”. The contest is aimed at an independent evaluation and promotion of the best achievements in various fields of mining and processing industry. In 2023, the contest was held in ten nominations.
Metalloinvest, Institute TOMS and MISIS became winners in the nomination “Breakthrough Solution of the Year” for the joint development of a novel, efficient process to produce higher grade magnetite concentrate, which was implemented within the pilot concentrate beneficiation facility of the Mikhailovsky GOK. The unique process integrating up-to-date technologies in fine grinding, screening, and reverse flotation as well as other specific process solutions allows the high-grade concentrate to be obtained with 71% iron grade and at 16.4 Mtpa productive capacity.
Moreover, this process was recognized at the contest of digital transformation cases and breakthrough technologies for companies of mining, processing and metallurgical sphere – MINEXcellence.
Institute TOMS performed an extended scope of works for implementation of the pilot concentrate beneficiation facility at the Mikhailovsky GOK including research and testing efforts, development of a process design basis document, basic design documentation with getting approval in respective expert appraisals, detailed design documentation, and designer’s field supervision.
