Breaking into the battery minerals market

The emergence of new ways to collaborate with external experts is providing better opportunities for mineral processing operations to break into the battery minerals market.

A new approach to tailings management

Tailings management has long been a concern in mineral processing operations, and recently has been brought back to our attention after multiple facility failures. In this month’s blog, we look at how switching from a reactive to a proactive approach to tailings management can provide more long term economic, social and safety benefits.
