Mintek and BHP Billiton recently signed an agreement to facilitate the purchase of a Mineral Liberation Analyser (MLA) from JKTech, Australia. The instrument will be located at Mintek's laboratories in Randburg, South Africa. BHP Billiton's support is part of its anticipated ongoing relationship with Mintek in mineralogical investigations - particularly through BHP Billiton's Johannesburg Technology Centre. The MLA, which was developed by Philips Electron Optics, a world leader in electron microscopy, and the Julius Kruttschnitt Mineral Research Centre in Brisbane, is a new tool for rapid and accurate mineral liberation analysis.
