Consulting project metallurgist for First Quantum Minerals LTD:

“PPM provided commissioning assistance to a number of FQM projects including Ravensthorpe (Nickel Laterite leach plant, Australia), Kevitsa (Nickel/Copper concentrator, Finland), Kansanshi (copper leach/SX/EW, Zambia) and Sentinel (Copper concentrator, Zambia) between 2010 and 2016.”

PPM Global has developed strong business relations with several small-scale producers to assist with commissioning optimisations of process plants, one more recently in provision of metallurgical optimisation services at Osborne Concentrator Project in Queensland.

PPM Global managed a small team to conduct test work on process optimisation that lead to conducting test work on potential ore bodies to further extending mine life.
