THE CONCENTRATED MINEPrecisely targeting the metal and mineral with less waste

Moving and processing only the mineral / metal

VISION

CHALLENGE

Precision mining with minimal energy, water and capital intensity

APPROACH

Concentrating the mine™ concept:

• Improved mine fragmentation

• Rejecting the worthless rock (gangue) earlier

• Coarse particle recovery

Fine particle recovery

THE WATERLESS MINEWaterless processing

Dry processing without the need for tailings dams

VISION

CHALLENGE

Around 75% of our current portfolio is located in high-water-risk regions

APPROACH

• Closed Loop water recycling

• Evaporation control

• Dry tailings disposal
