As an accredited Knelson test facility we have been proudly associated with Peacocke and Simpson since 1987. Over the years, they have successfully developed and executed many of the most advanced and metallurgically challenging gravity-based test programs on behalf of their clients. There is no doubt that many of these clients have realized significant positive financial benefits as a result of their practical and innovative approach.
Thanks to P&S for a job well done on the Singida metallurgical test work program. Shanta can now move forward on the BFS with a great deal of confidence, knowing that the gravity and leach test work have been completed in both a comprehensive and professional manner.
I always contact Pete (of Peacocke & Simpson) when I encounter a problem with gravity or intensive leach because (1) he has a lot of experience and strong technical ability, (2) he is always able to point us in the right direction, (3) he genuinely cares about the equipment its operability and maintenance, and (4) he is the best equipment service provider of any that I have encountered.
At Buzwagi Mine, we have been impressed by the quality of service and dedication demonstrated by our gravity equipment vendors. They have been totally committed to getting the gravity equipment commissioned in a timely manner. Successful commissioning of the Knelson Concentrators and ACACIA Reactor has ensured our first gold production is on schedule.
The KC 48 Concentrator installed on one of our operations has resulted in a 3 fold increase in gravity gold recovery which has translated to 3% increase in overall plant recovery. We are so happy with the performance of the KC 48 and plans for the purchase of another unit for our second biggest operation are at an advanced stage
Excellent Work!
Peacocke and Simpson always conduct themselves in a very professional manner, with outstanding consultation and after sales service. It is always a pleasure doing business with them.
Peacocke & Simpson provide outstanding technical input into identifying opportunities for optimizing gold recoveries in our business. Their ability to understand the challenges in developing world environments and to provide workable solutions was outstanding.
During a unique short term high grade period we produced 3,000 oz. of gold in a 24 hours operating shift from three XD-48 Knelson concentrators. They are worth their weight in gold.
Having had Knelson Gravity solutions install 2 KC-XD30 Knelson concentrators and a Acacia3000 reactor at Barricks Bulyanhulu Tanzanian Gold Mine, I have worked closely with Knelsons Africa Manager Pete Simpson for 10 years. It was a pleasure to work with somebody who was always willing to assist with technical support and training and who provided a high level of onsite service. I hope I get the chance to do it again. I would highly recommend Knelson Gravity solutions to any Company.
With respect to Peacocke & Simpson, I have been impressed with their response to queries and excellent advise especially from Pete. Their reports are comprehensive and their charges are certainly competitive.
Commenting on Ashanti's purchase of their 17th Knelson Concentrator: "We have selected Knelson as our primary gravity process at all operations processing ore which is amenable to gravity concentration. We are very strong proponents of gravity concentration and have selected the Knelson Concentrator on the basis its efficiency to recover a significant portion of the overall gold into a very small high-grade concentrate mass."
I must comment on the excellent service we have received from Peacocke and Simpson. Well done and keep up the good work.
In addition to its high throughput capability, low water requirement and outstanding gold recovery, the Knelson has performed excellently in terms of availability and maintenance requirements.
