What if your tailings weren’t waste but one of your most valuable resources?
Across the mining industry, Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) are often locked within complex tailings matrices, left behind due to processing limitations. At SACOR, we see this differently. With the right technology, these materials can be recovered efficiently, sustainably, and profitably.
Turning Complexity into Opportunity
SACOR’s advanced recovery approach is designed to extract maximum value from PGM tailings through a multi-stage, precision-controlled process. By systematically separating and removing unwanted materials, operations can unlock high-value concentrates that would otherwise be lost.
The process includes:
1. Base metal removal to isolate valuable fractions early
2. Carbonate dissolution to break down interfering compounds
3. Silicate separation for cleaner downstream processing
4. Final concentrate production delivering high-value PGM output
5. Integrated water recycling systems to reduce consumption
6. Ongoing process optimisation for consistent performance
Why It Matters
This isn’t just about recovery, it’s about redefining efficiency across your operation.
With SACOR’s solution, operations benefit from:
Increased PGM recovery from existing tailings streams
New revenue opportunities from previously discarded material
Reduced waste volumes and environmental footprint
Lower water usage through closed-loop recycling
Improved process control and operational consistency
A Smarter Way Forward
As ore grades decline and sustainability expectations rise, the ability to recover more from what you already mine is becoming a competitive advantage.
SACOR’s approach transforms tailings from a liability into a strategic asset, delivering measurable returns while supporting responsible mining practices.
The question is no longer what’s left in your tailings.
It’s how much value you’re ready to recover.
