Mineral Processing & Characterisation

Mineral Processing & Characterisation

The Mineral Processing and Characterisation Cluster offers a comprehensive range of services that support clients in the initial stages of the mineral value chain, effectively combining concentration with various aspects of exploration.

The Mineral Processing and Characterisation Cluster is comprised of three specialised divisions.  The Analytical Chemistry Division utilises advanced analytical techniques to determine the composition of minerals in geological and metallurgical ores.  Additionally, the Division develops world-class reference materials to ensure accurate analysis.   The Mineralogy Division provides a wide range of customised mineralogical solutions for mining processes, industrial plants, and environmental challenges.  The Mineral Processing Division offers comprehensive metallurgical solutions for recovering minerals from diverse ores more efficiently.
