Bachelor of Engineering and Technology in Extraction Metallurgy offered by the University of Johannesburg
Extraction Metallurgists specialise in the extraction of metals and minerals from run of mine ores. They control, design process improvements to optimise the recovery of metals and minerals from ore. Often, these processes require further refining to purify the metals extracted. Graduates are equipped to work in a range of industry settings. Extraction Metallurgists focus on recovery efficiency and cost control. Sampling at various stages in the process is an important aspect of plant control to ensure target recoveries are achieved. Analysis of these samples requires metallurgists to be familiar with chemical analyses as well as other sophisticated analytical techniques.
