Why it matters
From Lose-Lose to Win-Win
Transforming Tailings Management with Profitable Solutions. Mining operations produce vast amounts of tailings, which can endanger communities and ecosystems if not managed responsibly. Proper stewardship of these waste streams is essential for environmental care and social responsibility. We’re here to help you turn this challenge into an opportunity. By reprocessing tailings as they are moved, you can not only reduce risks but also unlock additional revenue by recovering and selling valuable mineral products.
Together, we can shift from a lose-lose situation to a win-win approach, ensuring safety, sustainability, and profitability.
The Challenge
MitigatingCatastrophicRisks
The vast amount of tailings, often hundreds of millions of cubic meters, makes relocation costly and logistically challenging. Securing regulatory approval for new dams is increasingly difficult due to stricter safety and environmental rules, often taking years. Tailings dams remain a safety and environmental risk even after mine closure. Community consent and trust are also essential, as a lack of transparent engagement can lead to strong opposition and challenges in relocating facilities.
Our Solution
A futurenot wasted
Our cutting-edge Mobile Mining Unit (MMU) transforms tailings from waste liabilities into valuable resources. By “slurrying” tailings and making them pumpable, the MMU enables efficient and safe relocation of tailings dams. The MMU’s advanced techniques and modular plant designs allow constantly transporting raw feed material from the extraction point to another location while minimizing environmental footprints.
This unique technical solution addresses the critical challenges of tailings management, reducing environmental risks and operational costs. Proven in various applications, the MMU is a game-changer for the mining industry, offering a sustainable and economically viable solution for tailings reclamation.
The Advantages
Less is more
The MMU allows for selective mining, minimising waste material and reducing the volume of tailings that need to be stored.
Remote operation of the MMU reduces human exposure to hazardous conditions near tailings dams.
The MMU pumps material through pipelines instead of using trucks, lowering the risk of accidents and spills.
Its mobility enables targeted extraction, avoiding environmentally sensitive areas and reducing waste.
High water recycling rates in MMU operations reduce the liquid content in tailings, decreasing the risk of dam failures.
The MMU produces fewer emissions and dust compared to traditional methods, contributing to a safer and cleaner environment.
