Locus Mining is pioneering biosurfactant technology that will revolutionize tailings management. These ESG-friendly reagents have the unique capability of extracting ore from previously uneconomical tailings, turning what was once “waste” into a valuable resource – and profit. They can be used as additives in froth flotation or leaching to recover minerals/metals trapped in tailings and/or other waste mining materials.
Biosurfactant-based reagents are also an invaluable dewatering aids during the filtration of concentrates or tailings. Their multifaceted role extends to serving as filtration boosters, reducing moisture content and contributing to significant water savings.
