The Albion Process™ was developed at Core’s Albion facilities (previously owned by MIM/Xstrata) during the early 1990’s, and is a combination of ultrafine grinding, and oxidative leaching at atmospheric pressure. It is a highly effective process for the treatment of a wide range of sulphide based metal and precious metal concentrates, for precious and base metal recovery. For more, see the Albion Process section of this website.
Testwork for Global Programmes
All currently operating Albion Process plants worldwide, began with testwork and pilot scale programmes at Core and we are fully equipped to carry out all aspects of Albion Process testwork. At Core there is a continuous flow of Albion testwork programmes, ranging from simple orientation programmes to large scale pilot plant studies. Our project managers have extensive experience in Albion Process testwork, and specialist technicians are trained to carry out high quality testwork.
