This book is a concise summary of the considerable body of mine fill knowledge and experience and provides mining engineers and those responsible for the application of fill with a one stop reference, covering the most significant aspects of fill.

THE CONSULTING PARTNERSHIP PTE LTD – METALLURGIST TO WORK IN ASIA, BASED IN SINGAPORE.
Our Client, a MNC into Surface Chemistry, provides outstanding technologies on process aids for mineral ores enrichment processes. Asia is still a small market, but with quality demand increasing and exhaustion of high purity ores, they see more and more companies looking to install purification facilities that will require their chemicals.
Usually, tailored formulations for customers are developed by sending samples of their ores to labs in Europe.
Currently, they have a very experienced technical sales person based in Europe who visits Asia regularly. Their sales manager, based in Australia, is also very knowledgeable of the mining industry. However, they have nobody in Asia that can give technical support, speak the language of the metallurgists who work in the mines, and be the liaison with the formulation development labs.
Thus, they have been looking for a metallurgist (not a mining engineer) to be that technical expert in Asia. Based in Singapore, his duties will be to:
