Learn More

CSIRO

CSIRO biomining – salt-tolerant microorganisms.

Learn More

High-Pressure Slurry Ablation (HPSA) is a comminution technology developed by Disa Technologies located in Wyoming, USA. The technology utilises high pressure slurry streams colliding with each other to liberate minerals from gangue.

Learn More

EcoTechnol

Membrane technology for treatment and reuse of brines recovered from tailings storage facilities.

Learn More

Edith Cowan University

Saline water biomining of critical minerals (phosphate solubilizing and acidophilic, halotolerant microbes at seawater levels of salt (35g/L NaCl), which can leach metals and REEs successfully).

Learn More

EDS

The EDS The Multishaft Mill contains a series of shafts with opposing flingers that rotate towards one another. This increases particle-particle interactions, causing them to reduce in size by impacting against each other.

Learn More

Ekion

Electrokinetic in situ recovery (EK-ISR), that uses electric fields to recover metals from ore bodies and tailings dams without the need for digging or fracking.

Learn More

Empirica

Synergy between galvanic effect and temperature increase in leaching: proof of concept.

Learn More

Endolith

Enhancement of copper recovery from primary and/or secondary sulfide ores through bioaugmentation.

Learn More

Future Element

ATA® is a polymer based technology which rapidly separates tailings into reusable high strength solids, and clarified water for immediate recycling.

Learn More

Gingko Bioworks

Leveraging heterotrophic non-acidophilic bacteria to bioleach copper and other valuable minerals from low-grade ores under ambient conditions.

Learn More

Giraffe Bio

Bio-Collectors for Selective Recovery in Flotation.

Learn More

Gradiant

Membrane based economical recovery of high quality water from desalination plant brine.

Learn More

GRolls

The Gyratory Rolls Crusher (GRolls®) has been developed by Gyratory Roller Solutions Pty. Ltd. in South Australia. The unit comprises two rollers, a “V” profiled main rotating roller, and an intermeshing “V” profiled oscillating roller.

Learn More

IPE-CAS

Chelation Assisted Chalcopyrite Bioleaching.

Learn More

NaturaFrac

Dynamic pulsed combustion pre-conditioning can be tuned and applied to IOCG deposits in deep hard-rock stope mining to achieve finer overall fragmentation.

Learn More

Orivium

Sustainable electrochemically generated “Super-Oxidisers” for accelerated leaching and complete copper recovery.

Learn More

Pavilion Resources

Electrocoagulation, hybrid captive deionisation, hydrodynamic cavitation, and UV and IR technologies used in an in-situ system, scalable to any size and adjustable to any wastewater source, that can remove both metals and organics as well as monovalent without high pressure filtration achieving near Zero Liquid Discharge.

Learn More

pH7

A patent-pending net-zero, closed-loop process using a green solvent and electrochemistry to unlock unrecoverable copper, eliminating concentration and smelting while boosting energy efficiency.

Learn More

Purium

Overcoming passivation during ferric leaching of chalcopyrite using superoxidant.

Learn More

Rampart Detection Systems

Electrochemical cell and electric sieve technologies which capture value from acid mine effluents.

Learn More

ReThink Mining

The Conjugate Anvil Hammer Mill (CAHM) by ReThink Milling Incorporated is a novel comminution technology based on the efficiency research of Professor Klaus Schönert. The technology operates using an inner roll (hammer) that rotates synchronously with an outer shell (anvil).

Learn More

Rockburst

The RockBurst technology, developed by Rockburst Technologies in Vancouver, utilises supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) to break material under tension.

Learn More

Sharp Pulse

The Sharp Pulse technology is an in-line, continuous pulse plasma technology developed by Sharp Pulse Corporation, based in the United States. By applying a high-voltage pulse across the ore, the technology is designed to generate fractures along the grain boundaries between the valuable mineral and gangue.

Learn More

Tersa

Transforming waste into wealth through microbial metal recovery and reduction of remediation costs. Tersa’s technology extracts the valuable critical minerals and then remediates the AMD using a recyclable alternative to lime for pH neutralization and contaminant removal.
