A significant portion of this project was the development of a new, much larger capacity, filter press. A filter press that could filter more tailings at a lower cost and less manpower was needed to make tailings filtration viable for large tonnage open pit mines. The development of this filter press took many years and culminated in a proof of concept filter that operated successfully in the summer of 2019. This paper will examine the need for such a large filter, the drivers for features that are incorporated into the filter, and the results of the successful testing. %1 Santiago %I Gecamin Publications %U https://papers.acg.uwa.edu.au/p/2052_16_Wisdom/ %R 10.36487/ACG_repo/2052_16
