Consulting services

Technical support where quality and recovery are decided

Engagements can cover one critical problem or the full path from mine assessment to a commissioned processing operation.

01

Mine evaluation & procurement

Deposit screening, mineral suitability, mine procurement support, auction advisory and practical risk assessment before capital is committed.

02

Beneficiation process design

Flowsheet development for washing, attrition, classification, dewatering and impurity reduction based on feed characteristics and target grade.

03

Plant setup & commissioning

Equipment selection, layout review, operating logic, trial planning and commissioning support for new or upgraded silica processing lines.

04

Plant performance optimization

Root-cause review of recovery, throughput, moisture, contamination and quality variation, followed by practical operating improvements.

05

Product & quality development

Aligning particle-size distribution and chemistry with glass, foundry, ceramics and other industrial customer requirements.

06

Commercial & supply-chain advisory

Product-market fit, customer qualification, logistics review and supply planning for dependable mineral delivery at operating scale.

Processing that starts with the ore

No generic flowsheets

Every deposit responds differently. The right process begins with feed variability, liberation, clay load, iron-bearing impurities, water balance and the final customer specification.

Working approach

From mineral deposit to repeatable product

A structured technical path keeps mine planning, process design and commercial quality aligned from the beginning.

Start with a technical discussion
  1. 01

    Define the target

    Customer chemistry, sizing, moisture, volume and commercial constraints.

  2. 02

    Understand the resource

    Deposit variability, sampling logic, mineral behaviour and mining conditions.

  3. 03

    Develop the process

    Testwork interpretation, flowsheet, equipment duty and water balance.

  4. 04

    Commission with control

    Trials, operating windows, quality checks and team handover.

  5. 05

    Optimize continuously

    Recovery, throughput, consistency, cost and customer feedback.
