Since 1972, Kappes, Cassiday & Associates (KCA) has provided process metallurgical services to the international mining industry. KCA specializes in all aspects of heap leaching, cyanide processing, laboratory testing, project feasibility studies, engineering design, construction and operations management.
While primarily known for its heap leach expertise, KCA's staff includes experienced professionals with design capabilities in a wide range of metallurgical processes, such as: a complex acid leach process for a Bolivian silver project, a SART process (Sulfurization, Acidification, Recycling and Thickening) for a Mexican copper-gold project, and multiple HPGR (High Pressure Grinding Roll) processes around the globe.For several years, KCA has routinely expanded its client base and service capabilities.
KCA occupies a 3800 square meter building in Reno, NV, which allows KCA extensive capacity for engineering, manufacturing, purchasing, warehousing, and testing. Florin Analytical Services, part of the KCA group, operates as an independent commercial analytical lab, providing high quality, reliable assays.

Services
Kappes, Cassiday & Associates not only provides clients with accurate testing services and feasibility studies, but KCA is also well equipped to follow up these studies with construction management.
This is because at the end of the day we fully expect to provide detailed engineering packages and construction management services based substantially on those initial endeavors.
In the past KCA has provided the Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management services (EPCM Services) for multiple projects, including the 2009 $140 million Pinos Altos, Chihuahua Project owned by Agnico Eagle.

KCA designed, engineered, and was the general contractor on the Hog Ranch, Nevada, 4000 ton/day heap leach shown in the photo above.
KCA provided all process installations and infrastructure at this remote site, including a man-camp and water and power supply systems.
KCA also provided the most important aspect of a heap leach system - the design of the heaps and the solution application methodology.
Hog Ranch was built at a total cost of $7 million and sold two years later for $100 million.
KCA can provide basic "concept studies" to help guide your exploration efforts.

Since 1972, Kappes, Cassiday & Associates (KCA) has specialized in the metallurgical treatment of gold and silver ores.
KCA's laboratory typically completes process development test work on over 100 different projects each year.
KCA always provides a logical, down to earth approach to metallurgical testing and in many cases sets the bar for current industry standards.
KCA's test work is based upon real solutions developed from years of working in real mines.
KCA is a research oriented process development laboratory supporting the global mining community.

KCA' s laboratory facility is home to one of the very few pilot scale high pressure grinding roll (HPGR) units in North America.
The ThyssenKrupp Polycom PILOTWAL HPGR unit is capable of producing between 6 and 8 tonnes of crushed product per hour and can be used to define both operational parameters as well as sizing for full-scale production units.
The products developed from the unit are equivalent to that which will be produced by larger scale units and as such they can be used for additional metallurgical process steps.
