Geometallurgy has reached maturity, beyond its early simplistic “geology + metallurgy” conception. It is recognised as an approach that can both maximise value and predict the risks associated with resource development. Modern geometallurgy seeks to integrate geoscientific disciplines with minerals and mining engineering.
Geometallurgy is a growing area within a mineral processing industry. It brings together tasks of geologists and mineral processing engineers to do short and medium term production planning. However, it is also striving to deal with long term tasks such as changes in either production flow sheet or considering different scenarios.

Geometallurgy is a cornerstone of AMC’s Mine Smarter approach.. It is a powerful multi-disciplinary lens through which mining projects are analyzed and optimized. It integrates geological, geotechnical, mining, metallurgical, environmental, and economic information to provide a platform to improve project performance and increase net present value.
Geometallurgy and grinding. It is often desirable to be able to load ore hardness information into the mine block model. Allows the mining engineers to better schedule ore delivery to the plant, and to run more sophisticated net present value calculations against ore blocks.
A number of auxiliary materials handling operations are also considered a branch of mineral processing such as storage (as in bin design), conveying, sampling, weighing, slurry transport, and pneumatic transport. The efficiency and efficacy of many processing techniques are influenced by upstream activities such as mining method and blending.
