As sulfide nickel ore deposits decline in both number and grade, many industry experts see upgrading low-grade laterite ores as an essential step in satiating rising nickel demand in the transition to a low-carbon economy. A combination of reduction roasting and magnetic separation has emerged …
FEECO will be exhibiting at MINExpo 2021 September 13th – 15th in Las Vegas, Nevada. The show is the industry’s largest event and represents every sector of mining, from precious and nonferrous metals, to industrial minerals, sand, and everything in between. The show covers every …
The mining industry is under mounting pressure to find an alternative approach to managing tailings – the residue left over after the target component has been extracted. As efforts grow around implementing renewable energy and electric vehicle fleets, miners are tasked with extracting more metals …
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has released a new report highlighting the stark and worrying differences between clean energy ambitions and supplies of critical minerals. The report, which the agency calls the most comprehensive study to date on the topic, lays out the dangers of …
The future is clear: transportation electrification is upon us, and the US is kicking it into high gear, enlisting Canada as a key ally in building a secure EV supply chain. The two nations have committed to work together to not only mine the massive …
The transition to renewable energy technologies in the United States is well on its way, with a renewed focus under a new administration. As many wonder where we’ll get the minerals and metals needed to fuel the switch, some industry experts are saying that the …
Canada announced the release of their critical mineral list at this year’s Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada’s (PDAC’s) annual convention. Not surprisingly, the list is largely based around the metals associated with the switch to a low-carbon economy, but also focuses on the materials …
The Fraser Institute has released data from their annual survey ranking the most (and least) attractive mining jurisdictions for 2020. The survey assessed 77 jurisdictions against an overall Investment Attractiveness Index, which combines a variety of criteria to determine how factors such as policy, taxation, …
Scrubbing is an integral washing step employed in the beneficiation of many types of ores and minerals, helping to remove contaminants and gangue and ultimately improve recovery of the target material. Rotary scrubbers are often used in this role; while a variety of equipment types …
Rotary drums are the industry standard for everything from granulating fertilizers, to drying, cooling, and even coating them. Throughout the US – and the world – this diverse type of equipment dots the landscape at both mine sites and fertilizer production facilities of all kinds. …
