JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – South Africa’s national mineral research organisation Mintek is targeting global recognition as a minerals flotation researcher, the State-owned organisation emphasised at its recent platinum group metals (PGM) event.
Mintek’s flotation group is viewed as being well positioned to expand its impact through several strategic opportunities, which range from sustainable mining to industrial support and the circular economy.
“We’re aiming to become a globally recognised centre of excellence in flotation research through technology partnership and industrial implementation,” Mintek post-doctoral research fellow Dr Mandla Chabalala declared at the PGM Industry Day. (Also watch attached Creamer Media video.)
Mintek makes no bones about its aspiration to become a world-class scientific research organisation with practical industrial solutions that support safer, more efficient and environmentally sustainable minerals processing.
In partnership with various stakeholders, it is looking into expanding its global footprint as well as its standing as a global minerals and metallurgical innovation leader.
