When Hudbay decided to go 100% Jameson Cell for their New Britannia flotation circuit, they could not have known it would help their lead metallurgist, Matthew Taylor, win an award at CIM.  Hudbay installed “a novel copper facility at New Britannia mill in 2021, which consists of an innovative and first-of-its-kind flotation circuit based entirely on Jameson cells, a modern pneumatic flotation design that offers a compact layout, low-cost process and flexible flowsheet.” Hudbay said of the technology.

Operations commenced at full capacity in July 2021 and with the fast ramp up, it was water commissioned within 2 days. New Britannia has already seen proven value achieving its tails grade target within 24 hours.
