Transformative Mining Technology - with Mike Battersby

In this episode we chat to Mike Battersby, Chairman & Managing Director of Maelgwyn Mineral Services (MMS), a privately owned limited company and is establishing itself as a world leader in the development and implementation of innovative cost effective technologies and processes in the field of mineral, chemical and waste processing. Maelgwyn has had many patents granted and has won a number of national innovation awards for its technology which has achieved significant environmental benefits in terms of reduced energy and waste for operations.

We talk about the flotation technologies and products they manufacture and how they dramatically improve mining companies’ recoveries in gold and other precious and base metals and mineral commodities and why companies would benefit from using their technology.

 KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • When you’re leeching gold with cyanide, which is how most of the gold around the world is produced, you need oxygen for the reaction to take place. Many operations don’t have enough oxygen in their circuit in order to produce a fast reaction.
  • The specially developed Aachen reactor has far less energy consumption, small footprint in terms of capital cost, and yet gives a far higher performance.
  • People financing a new project are not necessarily interested because of the new technologies involved. They want results at the lowest cost possible.
  • There has been a resistance to emerging and new technologies in mining, purely because it moves so quickly, and can largely be unproven. But slowly attitudes are changing. Companies are more receptive to experimentation and progress.

.BEST MOMENTS

‘We did hit the ground running!’

‘It was going to be the Aachen reactor or the Aardvark reactor!’

‘With Maelgwyn we took it to another stage of pneumatic flotation’

’There is a lot of interest between the mining companies, to look at sustainability'
