Epiroc releases new long feed version of SmartROC C50

The class-leading SmartROC C50 will now be available with a choice of two feeds, the standard feed or a long feed.

Alumtek Minerals achieves breakthrough in SCM production

Alumtek Minerals (AM), has recently completed research and development on bauxite residue waste, commonly known as ‘red mud’. As well as developing a process to extract the critical minerals vanadium, titanium and gallium, AM’s process also extracts aluminium hydroxide and a high purity iron oxide. Most notably, AM has developed a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) meeting the stringent Australian Standard AS3582.4. This milestone comes as a result of a Cooperative Research Centres Project (CRCP) grant, showcasing the company's commitment to innovation and sustainability. Red mud is an alkaline by-product of the alumina industry and is usually stored in tailing dams.
