Your Ore Body Doesn't Care About Generic Solutions

Commodities

You need metallurgical expertise tailored to your specific commodity and mineralogy.

Your gold responds differently than their gold. Your copper ore requires chemistry adjustments that textbooks don’t cover. Your iron concentrate specs demand precision that generic process routes can’t deliver. We provide commodity-specific metallurgical services that address the unique challenges of your deposit’s mineralogy, not theoretical best practices from different ore types.

Whether you’re extracting refractory gold, upgrading low-grade copper, or meeting stringent iron pellet specifications, we deliver testwork programs, process designs, and operational support calibrated to your commodity’s behavior. No one-size-fits-all flowsheets. No borrowed assumptions from unrelated projects. Just metallurgical solutions built around your ore’s actual performance (because recovery rates from similar deposits mean nothing if the mineralogy differs).

Get in Touch

GOLD

We design gold recovery processes for refractory ores, free-milling deposits, and complex polymetallic systems that conventional cyanidation can’t handle. Your metallurgical program includes gravity separation optimization, flotation testwork, oxidation pretreatment evaluation, and cyanide leaching protocols that maximize gold extraction from your specific mineralogy while managing arsenic, antimony, or carbonaceous interference.

COPPER

We develop copper concentration and extraction processes for porphyry, skarn, and sediment-hosted deposits across varied oxidation states. Your process design addresses primary sulfides, oxide copper recovery, mixed ore blending strategies, and flotation chemistry optimization that delivers consistent concentrate grades between 25-30% copper while managing penalty elements like arsenic or bismuth (meeting smelter specifications without price deductions).

IRON ORE

We optimize iron ore beneficiation processes that upgrade magnetite and hematite deposits to meet pellet feed or direct shipping specifications. Your beneficiation flowsheet includes crushing and grinding optimization, magnetic separation design, spiral concentration, flotation for silica removal, and dewatering strategies that achieve +65% Fe grades with controlled silica and alumina levels.

BASE METALS

We design separation and concentration processes for zinc, lead, nickel, and polymetallic deposits requiring selective flotation. Your metallurgical program manages complex sulfide mineralogy, achieves clean separations between valuable metals, controls penalty elements, and delivers multiple concentrate streams that meet individual smelter specifications (maximizing payable metal value across all products).

PROCESS ENGINEERING

We provide detailed process engineering from conceptual flowsheets to construction-ready designs. Your engineering deliverables include mass balance modeling, equipment sizing and selection, piping and instrumentation diagrams, reagent dosing systems, and capital cost estimation with vendor quotes that support project financing and construction execution.

PILOT TESTING

We conduct pilot-scale metallurgical campaigns that validate process performance before you commit capital to full-scale construction. Your pilot program runs continuous operations on bulk samples, tests equipment scalability, generates design data for engineering, identifies operational challenges, and proves throughput and recovery assumptions (de-risking your $200M investment with $2M of testwork).
