Why it matters
The biggestloser
In the mining industry, every tonne of ore counts. Our advanced beneficiation technologies recover potentially lost fine valuable iron ore into shippable product, ensuring no resources is wasted. This not only boosts profitability but also aligns with sustainable mining practices, reducing environmental impact and promoting resource efficiency.
The Challenge
No mineralleft behind
Low grade iron ore deposits often result in significant amounts of fine iron lost to tailings, impacting both economic returns and resource utilisation. These lost fines represent untapped potential, leading to inefficiencies and increased operational costs. Addressing this challenge is crucial for maximizing the value of mining operations and minimizing environmental footprint.
Mineral Technologies offers cutting-edge beneficiation technologies, including: MT Spirals, MT Reading WHIMS, MT Carrara HTR, MT Lyons Unit, and MT Modular Plants. MT solutions enhance metallurgical recovery, resulting in an extended lifespan of MT processing equipment and a long-term return on investment.
By integrating advanced engineering and metallurgical expertise, we help clients achieve superior efficiency and sustainability in their operations.
The Solution
Choose yourweapon
MT Spirals maximize iron ore recovery and efficiency with over 40 variants tailored to different minerals. Their robust, low-maintenance design ensures high separation efficiency and long service life.
The Reading WHIMS upgrades iron ore fines and recovers fine iron ore from tailings streams. It offers high efficiency and reduced operational costs, tailored to client needs.
The Lyons Unit stabilizes and controls feed density in iron ore processing, ensuring consistent slurry density and enhancing metallurgical performance.
FlexSeries modular plants combine high-quality spiral technology with advanced design, offering exceptional performance and reduced water consumption in iron ore processing.
2.6 Billion tonnes
In 2021, global iron ore production was estimated at 2.6 billion tonnes, a 4% increase from 2020.
>60% Grade
The operational focus was to optimise the separation circuit to recover high grade 66% Fe iron concentrate.
51 Billion tonnes
Australia holds the largest iron ore reserves, representing 28.3% of the world’s total reserve.
20% less cost
Compact and low weight construction reduces installation costs. No reagents are used in the circuits; this delivers environmentally friendly processes reducing operating costs and lowering potential for environmental incidents
MT specializes in flowsheet development through detailed ore sample characterization. This forms the foundation for a conceptual flowsheet, proven by metallurgical testing, supporting engineering studies, detailed design, and project development.
