South America: Rincon Lithium Construction CQA

Rincon is a lithium brine project located in the Puna arid region of Salta, Argentina.

Since 2022, SRK Argentina has been involved in the conceptual, feasibility and detailed design of a spent brine depositional facility needed for the Rincon project. SRK is currently carrying out the construction quality assurance (CQA) for the pilot plant’s facility. It is also conducting complementary site investigations, laboratory testing, and materials characterization to advance the detailed design for the larger facility. It will sustain 53 ktpa lithium carbonate equivalent during the life of mine.

Considerations for Stone Column Quality Control and Design Intent Verification for Dam Stabilisation
Jonathon Eldridge, Ricardo J. Dellamea, Joe Rola

This paper focuses on the use of stone columns for tailings dam stabilisation, emphasising robust construction quality control measures to confirm design intent is maintained, address construction challenges, and mitigate non-conformances effectively.

Exploiting Heterogeneity: Improving Head Grade and Project Value
Bob McCarthy

This paper explores the heterogeneity of gold deposits and introduces the concept of “waste liberation” to gauge when mining scale or particle size is sufficiently small, and mineralisation is sufficiently absent, to preclude further processing.
