COVER STORY

of effluent from mines and a reduction in carbon emissions, there is a renewed focus on tech nologies that can cost-effectively and efficiently lower the impact on the environment. “GoldOre has conducted much research in this field and is ready to collaborate with min ing houses that wish to move their operations to compliance and beyond,” says Singh. A steep learning curve in designing and operating the world’s smallest hydrodynamic cavitation testrig at a local research institution, has, he says, informed design refinements for a new batch of test-rigs that are set for develop ment in the first quarter of 2023. The test rigs will be made available to commer cial laboratories and research institutions for product and project development, as well as to universities around the world for students undertaking post grad uate studies. According to Singh, GoldOre prides itself on col laborating with strategic partners and is always open to new opportunities for research and academic support. GoldOre at Investing in Africa Mining Indaba 2023 As the world emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic with face-to-face meetings and in-person confer ences once again becoming the norm, GoldOre will attend, participate in, and sponsor various confer ences throughout 2023. In fact, the company will be attending the Investing in Mining Indaba conference in Cape Town in February.

that fine liberated valuables are not lost to tailings. As the MACH is used to precondition ore ahead of flotation, the flotation technology that is employed in the circuit after the MACH does not have to be changed. This works to de-risk the application to a large extent – the flotation backbone of the plant stays the same and is always the fallback position. Copper circuits typically have high flowrates which the MACH caters for – the largest MACH Reactor has a design flowrate of 3 000 m 3 /h through a single unit,” explains Singh. With the race to net carbon zero emissions and the focus on ESG being paramount, GoldOre is eye ing business growth through promoting cyanide destruction and arsenic remediation applications. Mining houses have traditionally been reluctant to invest in environmental remediation; however, on the back of government regulators and lending institu tions becoming more stringent about the discharge

GoldOre looks to unlock further opportunities in new geographies in 2023.

“The Mining Indaba conference offers a great opportunity to network and showcase how GoldOre can assist busi nesses to improve project economics, while reducing the carbon footprints, of projects that are close to execution and looking to attract the right investment.” GoldOre is also sponsor ing the Flotation ’23 conference, which will be held in Cape Town in November 2023, and where the company will have an exhibition stand. “We look forward to presenting our latest research and interacting with, and gaining new insights and ideas, from other delegates.” The equipment specialist is upbeat about 2023 as it looks to unlock further opportunities for its existing client base and potential new clients. “On the back of a myriad of benefits of adopting the MACH Reactor, we look for ward to growing our business and global footprint exponentially and taking a South African technology to all reaches of the globe,” concludes Singh. 
