The reason for choosing Portage (Woodgrove) associated to the Concentrator control system upgrade was purely about selecting a company that:
· listened to our needs
· could provide solutions to achieve results
· could integrate their system and controls seamlessly into our control system (DeltaV)
· had depth of knowledge and experience within their team associated to floatation (Metallurgical, Expert Control & DeltaV configuration)
· delivered on expectation

Basically your production rate goes up. We used to be happy with a 30 percent yield, now we get 35 for the exact same cost.

We have a remote connection.  So Portage can log into our computer and fix most everything right from Toronto.

It’s often hard to find some higher-end technologies that the operators actually appreciate, and they actually really like this system.

We have proven it (Woodgrove Technology) is a no brainer, and are the first company to use this on a broad basis. […] We will use it wherever we can as there are so many environmental and economic benefits to it.
