Mineral Processing

Our mineral processing expertise is a core strength and our key differentiator. Since our inception in 1999, we have successfully delivered more than 500 projects worldwide. Our mineral knowledge spans the spectrum with specific competence in Gold, Diamonds, Base metals, Rare Earths, Coal and Lithium.

Our Expertise Includes:

Crushing & Milling

Design and optimization of crushing, screening, milling, and grinding circuits for maximum efficiency and throughput.

Gravity Separation

Advanced gravity separation systems including DMS (Dense Media Separation) for efficient mineral recovery.

Flotation & Leaching

Expertise in flotation cells, leaching circuits, and adsorption processes for precious metal recovery.

Gold Smelting

Complete gold smelting facilities including elution plants, refining, and doré production.

Thickening & Filtration

Tailings management and solids dewatering solutions using advanced thickening and filtration technologies.

Magnetic Separation

Design of magnetic separation systems for iron ore and other magnetic mineral processing.

Water & Effluent Treatment

The water treatment solutions we offer to the industrial, mining and municipal sectors range from potable water plants to various industrial effluent applications and include technologies such as membrane filtration, Ion Exchange, de-solidifying, evaporation and crystallisation.

Key Capabilities:

  • Potable Water Plants: Complete design and construction of water treatment facilities for industrial and municipal use
  • Membrane Filtration: Reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, and nanofiltration systems
  • Ion Exchange: Water softening, demineralization, and selective removal of contaminants
  • Cyanide Detoxification: Comprehensive cyanide destruction systems compliant with ICMI codes
  • AMD Treatment (KNeW™): Advanced acid mine drainage treatment with zero liquid discharge and valuable byproduct recovery
  • Municipal Projects: M&E design and construct partner for water and wastewater treatment facilities

Project Implementation & Execution

Our clients rely on us to provide cost effective and fit for purpose implementation solutions. We are not shackled by convention and work with our clients to find suitable implementation strategies.

Project Management

Based on PMBOK guidelines, we manage all aspects of project execution including planning, cost control, risk management, and stakeholder communication.

Engineering & Design

Multidisciplinary team covering Process, Mechanical, Piping, Civil, Structural, Instrumentation, Electrical & Control engineering. 3D CAD design with clash detection.

Procurement

Global supply chain management with established vendor relationships. QA/QC, expediting, and logistics support for materials and equipment.

Construction Management

Competent teams controlling technical integrity, budget and schedule while managing SHEQ issues on site.

Commissioning

Our lead process engineer acts as commissioning manager, utilizing well-developed systems to minimize commissioning time.

Contracting Models

Flexible execution models including EPC, EPCM, LSTK, BOO, BOOT for both greenfields and brownfields projects.

Consulting Services

We frequently supplement our clients' in-house management teams with specialized engineering and project resources on a consulting basis. These resources aid in managing 'stay-in-business' and maintenance projects, as well as providing advice and audits.
