Core provides a range of test work, process development and engineering services through its subsidiaries hrltesting, and Core Process Engineering. It operates the long established and well-regarded hrltesting laboratories in Brisbane, and it provides metallurgical test work, process simulation, and process design services to clients worldwide.

Core and hrltesting have a long history of involvement in technology development and Core continues to develop new process technologies on its own account or in partnership with third parties.

Core works closely with technology developers Xstrata PLC and Highlands Pacific to offer the revolutionary Albion Process technology. The Albion Process is a simple, robust technique for the recovery of base or precious metals from complex or refractory ores. Core can assist mine operations in the utilisation of this technology.

Albion Process - Simplicity in Leaching

The Albion Process is the result of over 10 years of research and development conducted by Xstrata and Highlands Pacific/OMRD (a Japanese consortium).

The Albion Process is a simple process for the recovery of base and precious metals from refractory sulphide ores.

The Albion Process incorporates ultrafine grinding to increase the activity of sulphide concentrates to a point where they can be oxidised readily in conventional open tanks, without the need for high pressures, expensive reagents or bacteria. The technology is simple, robust and offers substantial cost savings over bacterial or pressure leaching.

Core Resources is the exclusive global agent for the Albion Process.
