Mine Fines Agglomeration (MFA)
Reclaiming value from legacy mines by transforming waste into sustainable solutions.
Our Mine Agglomeration Technology (MAT) enables the recovery of valuable metals from legacy mine waste while supporting the rehabilitation of disused and abandoned mining sites.
Resource Recovery from
Mine Fines
Unlocks up to 50% of valuable minerals from mine fines, transforming legacy waste into commercially valuable resources and returning material to productive use.
Environmental
Risk Reduction
Reduces the volume of material requiring long-term tailings storage, helping to lower environmental liabilities, land degradation and contamination risks at active and legacy mine sites.
New Revenue from
Legacy Assets
MAT transforms historic stockpiles, tailings, and fines materials into commercially viable products converting environmental liabilities into revenue generating assets.
Scalable
Global Impact
Designed for deployment across major mining regions worldwide, MAT addresses the substantial global opportunity presented by legacy mine waste, supporting the recovery of value from metals, minerals and carbon-based materials.
The Global Mine Waste Statistics
citing respected industry data
During extraction
20%-50%
of mined material
is lost before reaching
the market.
Mine waste depicts
30%-50%
of mining operations
a substantial
loss rate.
As much as
90%
becomes tailings and fines, reflecting significant inefficiency.
MAT helps mining operations
recover more value from existing resources by:
- Waste Reduction
- Operational Efficiency
- Resource Recovery
Performance Highlights
Processes up to
1,800 tonnes
per day from a singular
modular unit.
Recovers up to
50%
of valuable material traditionally lost to mine fines.
Reduces storage requirements by
40%
helping lower environmental impacts and long-term
storage needs.
As part of Green Tree Group, Mine Fines Agglomeration works alongside complementary technologies that improve sustainability, operational performance and environmental outcomes across the mining sector.
This includes
Hydro Road Stabiliserᵀᴹ (HRSᵀᴹ),
a ground improvement solution designed to help create stronger, longer lasting mining haul roads and access routes with reduced maintenance, lower material usage, and improved operational efficiency.
Together, these complementary technologies help mining operators improve operational efficiency, reduce environmental impact and support more sustainable mining infrastructure.
