Resource Recovery

Finding productive value in industrial waste streams.

We assess selected waters, tailings, ash and industrial residues for useful constituents. The opportunity may be to recover an existing material or to purify its components and create a new mineral product.

Separated mineral residues and material-handling infrastructure

Assessment and sampling

Characterise waste materials and identify resource opportunities.

Process and product testing

Evaluate recovery routes and potential outputs.

Recovery evaluation

Assess technical and environmental performance.

Commercial assessment

Define the business case and route to market.

Project delivery

Develop a practical pathway to implementation.

Our approach

From waste to opportunity.

A useful recovery opportunity starts with understanding the resource. Our approach connects material characterisation, recovery testing, potential customers and the practical requirements of operating a facility.

Water-based streams, solid residues and suitable captured industrial by-products require different recovery routes. Finding an element in a sample does not, by itself, establish a saleable product or a viable project.

Mine residues
01

Mine residues

Tailings and mineral-bearing residues, assessed for their composition, variability and recovery potential.

Industrial by-products
02

Industrial by-products

Ash, slag and other suitable residues considered against product specifications and market demand.

Water-based streams
03

Water-based streams

Treatment, reuse and selective resource-recovery opportunities, with residuals managed responsibly.

Feedstock-led development

Understand the source. Define what it can become.

Composition, mineral structure and variability determine the available processing routes. Representative sampling comes before technology selection.

Our focus spans water-based streams, solid residues and suitable materials already captured from industrial emissions. Each requires its own separation process, customer specification and plan for what remains.

01

Characterise

Establish the chemistry, mineral phases, concentrations and variation in the source material.

02

Select

Compare direct recovery with purification, synthesis or a simpler industrial use.

03

Account

Track useful constituents and contaminants through the product and remaining streams.
