Process engineering at the heart of solving sustainability challenges.

The white paper in the link below explores the water efficiency challenges facing Australian mining businesses, and how the industry can rise to meet those challenges. #whitepaper #waterefficiency #miningbusinesses

Non-value-added material in ore – also known as gangue – is ubiquitous in the mining industry. Its removal is central to mineral processing and is the main driver of cost. Our nature’s detectives are developing a solution to tackle this challenge. Our low CAPEX bolt-on technology selectively will remove gangue minerals from flotation concentrations, reducing energy costs, minimizing waste and converting waste into value for mining facilities. We’re excited about the promising lab results we’ve already seen and look forward to driving positive change in the industry!

As the demand for minerals grows in 2024, what’s next for the industry? Nick Bell from Worley discusses key opportunities, challenges and transformations that will shape the global mining landscape this year: “Demand for energy transition and battery materials will soar past supply in the next two to three years and beyond, creating opportunities we’ve never seen at this scale before.“ Read more: https://lnkd.in/ghEEFPnz

Interesting article in MINING.com discussing Li-Metal’s completion of a concept study for what they believe to be the world’s first carbonate-to-metal #lithium plant, which is expected to be built at a brownfield site in North America. Once operational, the plant would have an annual capacity of up to 1,000 tonnes of lithium metal and will generate minimal GHG emissions. https://bit.ly/4brQ6QC #lithiummetal #EVs #supplychain #batterytech

Sharyn Macnamara of African Mining, incorporating Mining Mirror chats to Mark Sherman of Fluor Canada, Fluor Corporation - Mining & Metals Technical director & senior fellow - Communition SME at the Tega Industries Technical Conclave about the evolution of liners in grinding mills over the past 25 years. The next generation of liner designs are increasing efficiencies, cost savings, wear-life and reducing carbon footprints in minerals processing in mining. #engineering #ESG #miningequipment #mineralprocessing #mineralogy

Mining in Germany only contributes a minor proportion to the gross domestic product, but it does so with exemplary transparency in terms of extraction volumes, revenue, and other factors. This was the result of the triennial survey conducted by the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative EITI. #mining #rawmaterials #criticalminerals #germany

Optimism for metals clashes with reality for juniors ahead of PDAC https://lnkd.in/dF2-9xVx Increasing funding for battery metal and uranium projects versus gold brings home the global energy transition but big financing deals for preproduction companies have almost disappeared, new figures show ahead of the country’s largest mining showcase.

The Mining Executive Magazine, March 2024 EDITION Dear The Mining Executive Magazine Readers, We welcome you to yet another edition of The Mining Executive Magazine, the March 2024 Edition! In this edition, we delve into a topic that is increasingly becoming central to discussions surrounding the global transition to a green economy: critical minerals. As the demand for renewable energy technologies, electric vehicles, and other sustainable solutions continues to rise, so does the importance of these critical minerals in powering the future. However, the extraction and processing of critical minerals bring forth a myriad of challenges and considerations ranging from environmental concerns to geopolitical tensions. The journey toward securing a sustainable supply chain for these minerals is rife with complexities, and as miners and industry #stakeholders navigate this landscape, it is important to address these with foresight and responsibility.  Through insightful analysis and expert perspectives in this edition, we aim to shed light on the role of critical minerals in shaping the future of the mining industry and its relationship with the green economy. Join us as we explore the opportunities, obstacles, and #ethical considerations that accompany this pivotal moment in the evolution of the mining sector.
