MINING & REMINING: HYDRAULIC MINING
Remining with Hydraulic Mining
Over decades Fraser Alexander established a unique way of remining old tailings facilities for re-processing, due to improved equipment technologies.
The application and effectiveness of the hydraulic mining method is a function of various factors ranging from topography, site layout, hardness of material, particle size, moisture content, and the velocity and water pressure required. Success of the hydraulic mining application is based on site specific designs as every site has its own solution. We have the ability to customise a design that suits your needs.
Specialised Hydraulic Mining Solutions
Through Fraser Alexander’s Global Tailings Divisions, we have proven to be one of the largest remining companies in the world. We have successfully mined tailings of various commodities throughout the mining industry. Different mining methods are being used and mining plans can be adjusted to optimise production and deliver consistently within narrow density ranges. Over the years Fraser Alexander has developed various hydraulic mining methods and a range of specialised equipment to support this world class application.
How can Hydraulic Mining assist your facility?
- Cost savings as compared to conventional mechanical mining of tailings material
- Economical transportation due to hydraulic conveyance through pipelines
- Material is delivered as a slurry which suits most hydrometallurgical processes
- With hydraulic mining, grade blending is possible and can be used to increase profitability during mineral extraction
- Decreased environmental impact due to less dust created during operation with Hydraulic Re-mining
