Specialized
Technical Consulting

Inventory audits, sampling, instrumentation and process engineering — with documented traceability and real on-site presence.

Certifiable traceability

Results backed by documented technical evidence, defensible in audits.

On-site presence

Field surveys as an integral part of every study.

Full process view

From sampling to balance — no partial analyses.

Detailed engineering

Calculation reports, drawings, and specifications ready for implementation.

Portfolio

Our consulting services

Area 01

Accounting Inventory Audits

Determination and verification of concentrate inventories with traceable methodologies and defensible results.

Inventory — Cu Concentrate

Tonnage and grade on stockpiles, thickeners and filters, with representative sampling and laboratory analysis.

Inventory — Mo Concentrate

Methodology adapted to the physical characteristics of the material and specific storage systems.

WIP Inventories

Estimation of in-process material in thickeners, cells, mills and pipelines for periodic accounting closure.

Density model

Mathematical model of density vs. process variables to improve the accuracy of volumetric estimations.

Area 02

Sampling & Variography

Technical evaluation of sampling data quality — from material variography to statistical system validation.

Without a validated system

  • Unquantified sampling error
  • Undetected systematic biases
  • Data indefensible to third parties
  • High variability with no identified cause
  • Non-compliance with AMIRA P754

With Simplex

  • Sampling error quantified and documented
  • Biases identified and corrected
  • Traceable and auditable data
  • Variability under control and explained
  • AMIRA P754 compliance

Bias testing & variography

Sampling campaigns for systematic bias detection and variographic characterisation of the material. AMIRA P754 standard.

Sampling system validation

Technical evaluation of the system against the Theory of Sampling (TOS): geometry, speed, frequency and preparation.

Area 03

Process Engineering

From diagnosis to deliverable — we support the client through every phase of technical development.

Workflow

1

Diagnosis

Field survey, review of historical data and scope definition.

2

Study

Specialised technical analysis with active communication to the client.

3

Engineering

Calculation reports, drawings and detailed technical specifications.

4

Delivery

Traceable report and support throughout implementation.

Comprehensive support & studies

Continuous collaboration with the client's team: field surveys, historical data analysis and technically justified improvement proposals.

Basic & detailed engineering

Calculation reports, drawings, specifications and documentation ready for implementation in sampling systems, instrumentation or analytical equipment.

Project CAPEX analysis

Investment estimation for instrumentation and analytical equipment projects: equipment, installation, engineering and commissioning.

Area 04

Instrumentation & Validation

We evaluate installed equipment and propose new critical measurement points for the process.

Plant instrumentation diagram

Existing — validate Proposed — new point

Plant equipment validation

Technical and feasibility evaluation of installed flowmeters, weightometers, densimeters, level and pressure sensors. Status report with recommendations.

Instrumentation proposal with field survey

Analysis of existing instrumentation. Identification of missing critical measurement points with technical specification, location and cost estimation.
