Why it matters
Future proof
With over 80 years of expertise in high-yield, cost-effective, and sustainable mineral sands solutions. Our end-to-end services, from testing to support, include innovative technologies like our Spirals, Lyons Unit and WHIMS for efficient extraction of valuable minerals.
Committed to responsible mining, we strive for minimising environmental impact. Our approach maximises yield, future-proofs mines, and boosts investor confidence in sustainable, profitable mineral sands projects.
Approach
One stop shop
No two ore bodies are the same. Our process engineers begin with exploring and interrogating mineral sands processing solutions utilising testwork programs specifically designed to maximise the extraction of ilmenite, rutile, zircon and other fine minerals.
From our testwork we deliver concept, prefeasibility and feasibility studies as well as cost effective flowsheets to safely and efficiently extract the fine minerals. We then continue to work with customers through project lifecycles to deliver ongoing support and processing expertise to ensure project goals are achieved. The following figures are our benchmarks.

The Challenge
Latest mature technology
Marginal deposits and complex ores present formidable obstacles in mineral sands processing. Traditional methods often fall short, leaving valuable resources untapped and increasing environmental footprints. The industry grapples with rising costs, stringent regulations, and the pressing need for sustainable practices. Without innovative solutions, we risk missing out on critical minerals essential for green technologies and economic growth, while potentially causing unnecessary harm to our planet.
Our Solution
Proven precision globally
Our comprehensive approach revolutionises mineral sands processing. We offer a seamless journey from initial testing to plant design and operation, all under one roof. Our cutting-edge technologies, like the MG12 spirals and HTR400 separator, maximise recovery while minimising waste. By tailoring solutions to each unique deposit, we unlock the full potential of mineral sands, ensuring efficient extraction and processing. This not only boosts profitability but also reduces environmental impact, paving the way for a more sustainable mining future.
