Specialisations
Primary Metallurgical Technician
A primary metallurgical technician prepares raw ore (rock or mineral to be
mined) for refinement by crushing, screening and sub-sampling. They may also
be involved in the grinding, leaching and flotation of ores, and may use
operating equipment to separate ores by exploiting gravitational, electrical
or magnetic properties. Primary metallurgical technicians work at mine sites
or in base laboratories.
Secondary Metallurgical Technician
A secondary metallurgical technician may be involved in the development of new
alloys and the technical supervision of metal and alloy manufacture,
processing and fabrication in the industry. Secondary metallurgical
technicians work in testing laboratories.
