Albion Process™ solves the problem of degrading or difficult ores.  It combines physical liberation through fine grinding with chemical leaching through an OxiLeach™ reactor.

And with 6 installations and this year another 2, it’s proven as a low-capital and high-reliability technology.

Albion Process™ tolerates a variable feed and lower grade to work where others fail.  It can therefore make some projects feasible and profitable where alternative technologies simply cannot.

It’s also incredibly fast to install and commission and very easy to operate.

Albion Process™ is a combination of ultrafine grinding and oxidative leaching at atmospheric pressure. The feed to the Albion Process™ are base or precious metal concentrates.

The sulphides in the feed are oxidised and valuable metals liberated, with the economic metals recovered by conventional downstream processing.

5 Key Advantages

1. Accurate modelling means less risk

The Albion Process™ plant is developed in three stages, from lab to full-scale, so it will deliver design throughput and plant recoveries.

2. Significantly less expensive and easier to install

The capital equipment required in the Albion Process™ is considerably less than what’s needed in alternative leaching processes.

3. Easy to learn and on-board

As we install your Albion Process™ plant, we begin a thorough technology transfer with our metallurgists and maintenance experts and we train your team at your site before, during and after commissioning.

4. Tolerates a broader feed variation

The Albion Process™ is not affected by variations in feed quality and quantity, provided the oxidation demand is kept within the capacity of the oxygen plant. This is not difficult.

5. Easier to operate and maintain

The Albion Process™ doesn’t have complicated equipment operating at high pressures. The equipment consists of low maintenance slurry pumps, agitators, valves, HyperSparge™, tanks and thickeners.
