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”
This year TOMS team has crossed the world’s deepest lake Baikal on a swift-sailing yacht
TOMS specialists have visited the construction site of the copper plant MOF-3 of Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Complex (Uzbekistan). The construction has been implemented within an investment project “Development of Yoshlik I deposit”. The deposit is rich in such valuable metals as gold, copper, silver, and molybdenum
Process design basis
Institute TOMS has prepared Process Design Basis documents containing information about the development of a process for more than 20 years.
Process Design Basis document includes the following:
- Ore description;
- Metallurgical balance;
- Material balance;
- Environmental impact assessment;
- Electric energy supply;
- Design criteria;
- Mineral processing
- Metallurgy
- Reagents
- Tailings
- Water supply
- Filtration and drying.
The Process Design Basis is used throughout all design stages (scoping study, feasibility study, basic engineering and detailed design) as a primary written source of information for the engineers carrying out the design work, and as a basic document for further work. Institute TOMS has developed Process Desing Basis documents for design of ore processing and metallurgical plants dealing with recovery of gold, silver, copper, iron, carbon, tungsten, molybdenum, tantalum, niobium, zinc, lead, and other valuable components. Major part of these processes is successfully implemented in mining industry.
