A wonderful served networking luncheon being topped off by a presentation by Mr. Terrence McNulty on McNulty Ramp-up Curves CIM Toronto Branch presents IN PERSON luncheon series: McNulty Ramp-up Curves: An Update & New Perspectives Presenter: Terence P. ("Terry") McNulty, T. P. McNulty and Associates, Inc. Introductions: Stephanie Skitch - Chair (CIM Toronto Branch) Abstract: This lecture is based on a presentation jointly prepared with Britt MacKinnon and Phillip Mackey for a keynote paper presented at Copper 2025. The McNulty Curve concept began with an SME paper in 1998 and this is the 4th update. The Curves and their underlying criteria are a management tool that is used for assessing the probability of acceptable ramp-up times for new mineral industry projects. Many case histories have been contributed by mining, engineering, and investment firms. While most have been metallurgical plants, the principles also apply to geology and mining. Few projects achieve design capacity within several months. About half require 3 to 12 months, while roughly 25% are still lagging after 3-5 years; the others fail or require major remedial investments. This lecture will present the reasons and discuss ways of preventing disappointments. ******************************************************************************************************* Please Note: The National Club has a DRESS CODE: Business Attire Only; NO RUNNING SHOES, ripped jeans, shorts, or hoodies.
