Weir partnered with MINEXXT to strengthen its thickened and paste tailings solutions.
Weir says MINEXXT’s technology will help it deliver high-performance thickened and paste tailings solutions which will, in turn, enhance the company’s ability to collaboratively meet the evolving needs of its customers.
By combining Weir’s global reach and engineering with MINEXXT’s specialized technology, the collaboration reflects a shared commitment to accelerate the transition to smarter, more sustainable tailings management, according to Weir.
This collaboration is already on display as early project activity is underway in Australia and Kazakhstan, with the companies expecting further opportunities as the relationship grows.
“I do think it’s important to highlight that collaborating allows innovative companies such as Weir and MINEXXT to access a broader, more knowledgeable resource pool,” says Mike Cook, managing director at MINEXXT. “Utilizing our extensive experience coupled with advanced technologies enables us to offer clients a proven and more practical solution for optimizing their operations.”
Erik Vlot, global tailing process director at Weir, is also excited about the partnership.
“The value of this cooperation agreement lies in having access to exceptional, world-class thickening technology,” Vlot says. “Thickening will remain important as part of tailings flowsheets and the challenge around thickening of fines and ultra fines can be addressed with MINEXXT’s patented feedwell technology.”
