The North American mining landscape is shifting. As premier districts like the Carlin Trend and the Canadian Shield go deeper, free-milling gold is being replaced by complex, refractory mineralogy.
This transition often leads to a Production Gap—where the recovery rates promised in the Feasibility Study don’t materialise.
MineScope provides the technical muscle and independent expertise to help North American miners bridge the gap between planned targets and actual production.
