Abstract

Summary

SOLSA is the first automated expert system for on-site cores analysis. The scope is to provide a prototype to be an innovative and necessary tool for geo-metallurgy, in order to optimize the valorization of the ore. The Expert System consists in the combination of an integrated drilling rig providing cores of high quality, an automated scanner and phase identification software, developed for nickel laterites and bauxites but usable as well in other sectors. SOLSA combines non-destructive sensors and the whole system is driven by an innovative, user-friendly and intelligent software. SOLSA provides more complete information while optimizing the exploration stage, with a significant reduction of costs and return time. Such objective involves, in the first place, to fast, cheaper and systematic acquisition of the data needed for optimizing the process. The adding value takes place first at the exploration or grade control stage, furnishing systematic characterization and regionalization of the different types of ore. Then such information can be used for improving the ore scheduling at the mining and processing stages, toward improving the recovery and efficiency of the processing.
