The key objective is to acknowledge Clean Mining’s ore processing services reach beyond the supply of leaching reagent to ensure operational performance across the life of the mine.

• Intellectual Propriety Technology

  • We are the sole commercial provider of Australia’s national science agency developed gold recovery process using Thiosulfate.

• Non-Toxic Operations for Miners

  • We use non-toxic chemicals during the precious metal leaching process.

• Vertically Integrated Services

  • We can support all phases of development, from initial ore sample testing to onsite ore processing services. 

• Reduced CAPEX for Miners

  • We may be a more economical reagent for mining operations.

  • We may reduce the CAPEX requirements for selected miners by supporting dry tailings operations and the outcome of future costs for end-of-mine biodiversity programmes.

  • We may provide opportunities for reduced CAPEX requirements for selected miners by contracting ore processing as a service on-site as an operational partner.

Clean Mining serves gold miners globally from Greenfield developments to Brownfield expansions. While our solution is broadly applicable, it is especially well-suited to the following scenarios:

• Regulatory Constrains

  Sites operating in jurisdictions where cyanide is banned or heavily restricted.

• Problematic Ores

  Deposits where cyanide fails to achieve effective gold recovery.

• Financial Constraints

  Miners seeking low-CAPEX solutions through tolling or contract processing models.

• Mine Extension

  Sites looking to optimise processing flows and extend operational life through more flexible, modular approaches.

Around the world, regulators are increasingly banning or tightly restricting the use of cyanide in gold processing due to its environmental and safety risks. Companies that adopt cleaner technologies will be better positioned to meet regulatory compliance, ESG expectations, and community acceptance, while unlocking new sources of commercial value.

NT-OPS will directly mitigate against the top material topics established by operating miner's materiality assessment..

• Waste Management

• Health and Safety

• Responses to Climate Change

• Water Management

Thiosulphate can be used across various known leaching methodologies, in-situ, in-place, dump, heap, vat and tank (RIL/RIP). The proprietary technology is found within the chemical compound of the gold leaching solution, therefore allowing miners to use industry-standard equipment within the ore processing facility.

The key chemical, Thiosulphate has been long known to researchers and the mining sector for decades. CSIRO and Clean Mining have been at the forefront of both research break throughs and process development of non-toxic gold recovery technology.

Yes, as part of the appraisal / pre-feed phase, a commercial comparison of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) between conventional operations and NT-OPS (including dewatering of tailings) can be completed to validate the end-to-end commercial benefits of the NT-OPS for a miner.

Clean Mining has brought together an experienced team of individuals who have experience in operating from within or servicing to global mining and energy companies across the globe. The team covers research, FEED, EPICIC, Operations and Maintenance, Risk and Finance.

Green mining is an environmentally sustainable approach to the extraction, processing, and distribution of minerals and metals. Its primary goal is to minimize the ecological footprint of mining operations while ensuring that resource demands are met responsibly. Clean Mining’s NT-OPS can contribute to green mining practices.
