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

Concentrate 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

Predictive intelligence

(from sensor to

boardroom)

VISION

CHALLENGE

To measure what matters

– at all levels

APPROACH

•Predictive exploration and

processing analytics

•Predictive condition-based

monitoring and maintenance

THE INTELLIGENT MINEA smart, connected, learning mine
