Why it matters
Adapt ore lose
Chrome mining faces unique challenges, especially with spirals critical to beneficiation. High-density chromite ore complicates separation, causing inefficiencies and yield losses. Fine particles lead to clogging and reduced spiral effectiveness. Our advanced spirals, WHIMS, and Carrara HTR excel in durability, efficiency, and reliability, maximising production in a smaller space. Embrace the future of chrome mining with our innovative technologies, promising enhanced longevity, profitability, and maximised recovery rates.
Why it matters
Globalexpertise
From our beginnings in the 1940s separating fine minerals along Australia’s east coast, we have expanded to become the global leader in mineral sands processing. From Senegal’s largest mineral sands plant, Grande Côte, to Chemours on North America’s east coast, and numerous projects in Africa, India, Europe, and Australasia, our teams provide unmatched expertise in mineral sands processing throughout the project lifecycle.
Advantages
You have the upper hand
- Achieves high fine chrome recovery and superior grade concentrates through innovative process solutions
- Offers robust spirals and WHIMS designed to withstand abrasive conditions, minimising downtime
- Provides tailored processing solutions to meet specific ore characteristics and operational needs
- Emphasises sustainable practices, including reduced water consumption and waste minimisation
- Delivers end-to-end support, from mineral testing to plant commissioning and operational refinement
The thing with chrome is: You want to extract something that wears down your equipment in the long run. So make it as strong as possible.

The Challenge
EarthFirst Approachto Chrome
From initial test work to final plant design, we provide concept, pre-feasibility, and feasibility studies along with cost-effective flowsheets for extracting mineral sands. Our process engineers excel in maximising the extraction of fine minerals, offering innovative solutions for unique ore bodies. We design plants capable of processing 5 to 7,000 tonnes per hour, incorporating gravity, electrostatic, and magnetic equipment. Our FlexSeries plants are modular and relocatable, offering customisable options for any mineral resource, ensuring high performance without compromising on cost or environmental standards.
