Why it Matters
Maximisinguntappedpotential
Vast quantities of iron ore tailings lie dormant, representing a significant untapped resource. Harnessing this potential is crucial for driving operational efficiency and sustainable mining practices.
Our Mobile Mining Unit (MMU) and FlexSeries, coupled with the MT Lyons Unit, provide mobile, scalable solutions for efficient mineral recovery from tailings, leveraging advanced technology for profitable and sustainable operations.
The Challenge
Chasing yourtailings
Reprocessing tailings with traditional methods is often uneconomical and environmentally taxing. Expansive tailings dams pose catastrophic risks, while truck-and-shovel operations are carbon-intensive and labor-intensive.
Mineral Technologies’ MMU and FlexSeries Modular Plant, enhanced with the MT Lyons Unit for consistent feed, enable efficient on-site extraction and processing from tailings, optimising resource recovery while minimising environmental impact.
Investing in this technology enhances profitability by converting waste to revenue, reducing disposal costs, and rapid setup and versatility for various sites, ensuring a quick ROI.
Our Solution - MT MMU
Replacetruck andshovel
Our MMU represents the pinnacle of soft rock mining and tailings recovery. Designed to give you access to difficult locations, the MMU offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution.
Our Solution - MT Lyons Unit
For consistentfeed
The MT Lyons Unit stabilises slurry discharge in tailings dam reclamation, managing fluctuating inputs and enabling high-density pumping. This ensures consistent material flow for improved tailings management and more efficient reclamation processes.
Our Solution - MT FlexSeries
Efficienton-siteextraction
The FlexSeries offers modular, customisable processing plants for tailings dam reclamation. It combines advanced spiral technology, reduced water use, and easy assembly, while minimising environmental impact and supporting efficient site restoration.
The Advantages
Less is more
Recover up to 70% more minerals from tailings stockpiles compared to traditional processing methods. Our advanced separation technologies ensure maximum resource recovery.
Our integrated systems feature a modular design that streamlines processes. These systems are also highly resource and energy efficient ensuring significant cost savings across the value chain.
Minimise land use, water consumption, and carbon emissions and reduce reliance on heavy machinery. Promote sustainable mining practices.
This integrated system offers adaptable configurations to suit various mining environments, ensuring optimal performance and cost-effectiveness across different operational scales. It allows for seamless deployment across multiple sites, adapting to your evolving operational needs with ease.
Finally we have found a solution which makes economical sense to reclaim the remaining grade from your dams.

What is Next
Zero harmharmony
Prioritise environmental responsibility while driving profitability.
Our innovative tailings processing solutions harmonise resource extraction with sustainable practices, securing a resilient future for mining operations and local communities. By minimising land use, water consumption, carbon emissions, and waste volumes, we enable mining activities to align with global sustainability goals while unlocking new revenue streams from previously discarded tailings. This synergistic approach not only mitigates environmental risks but also enhances operational efficiency, driving profitability and long-term viability.
Through responsible resource stewardship, we empower the mining industry to contribute positively to local ecosystems, safeguard community well-being, and ensure the industry’s social license to operate, paving the way for a resilient and sustainable future.
