The overarching aim of this thesis is to develop the first phase of an integrated modelling framework of the entire minerals value chain using mineralogy. This first phase comprises the interface between techno-economic and environmental aspects for a single unit operation (flotation) at an operational level. The developed model should allow for a single component of ore variability on mineral
