This project aims to determine relationships between ore textures, alteration and geochemical zonation patterns, and assess their impact on liberation behaviour and recovery response at the Productora Cu-Au-Mo deposit, Chile.

Major geometallurgy results of the project were completed during the year, drawing to a close the work program for this project. These results were presented at GeoMet 2016 in June, where Angela was co-recipient of the ‘Best Paper by a Young Scientist’ award.

Angela submitted her PhD thesis at the end of the year, and has secured a postdoctoral position within the Hub, starting early in 2017.
