The mining sector is buzzing with the news of a strategic partnership that could reshape mineral processing in South America. Aminpro, a leading metallurgical testing and consulting firm, has been named the exclusive testing partner for Jord International’s groundbreaking NovaCell™ flotation technology in Chile. This alliance is not just a business deal; it’s a bold move that addresses some of the most pressing challenges facing the mining industry today.
Jord International’s NovaCell™ technology, invented by Laureate Professor Graeme Jameson, is no ordinary innovation. It promises to revolutionise mineral processing by integrating advanced flotation principles that handle a broad range of particle sizes. This means that coarse and fine flotation can occur in one device, a game-changer in an industry grappling with declining ore grades and increasing demand for minerals.
The partnership comes at a time when South America is experiencing a surge in demand for innovative mineral processing solutions. Aminpro, with its state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and deep expertise, is well-positioned to validate NovaCell’s™ performance across diverse ore types and processing objectives. This isn’t just about testing a new technology; it’s about pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in mineral processing.
Alex Carvajal, General Manager of Aminpro, captured the spirit of this partnership perfectly: “We are honoured to partner with Jord International as the official testing hub for NovaCell™ Flotation technology in South America. This collaboration aligns with our mission to deliver innovative solutions that enhance metallurgical performance and sustainability for our clients.”
The implications of this partnership are far-reaching. By leveraging Aminpro’s local expertise and Jord International’s cutting-edge technology, mining companies in South America will have access to tailored solutions that optimise resource utilisation while minimising environmental and social impacts. This is not just about improving efficiency; it’s about reimagining the future of mining.
Oliver Whatnall, VP Americas at Jord International, underscored the strategic importance of this region: “South America is a focus region for mineral processing innovation, and our partnership with Aminpro reinforces our commitment to delivering advanced solutions to the industry. Their technical expertise and deep understanding of the regional market make them an ideal partner for this initiative.”
This partnership is a call to action for the mining industry. It challenges us to think beyond traditional methods and embrace innovations that can address the complex challenges we face. It’s a reminder that progress often comes from unexpected collaborations and a willingness to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
As Aminpro and Jord International embark on this journey, the mining industry will be watching closely. The success of this partnership could pave the way for similar collaborations, driving innovation and sustainability in the sector. It’s not just about testing a new technology; it’s about shaping the future of mining.
