WENDOUREE-based mining equipment producer Gekko Systems are aiming to make mineral processing more sustainable through a new partnership.<\/p>\n
Gekko have signed a deal with Clean Earth Technologies, a group which works to develop non-toxic gold mining solutions, and together they\u2019re aiming to combine innovations where possible.<\/p>\n
The companies look for opportunities where Gekko\u2019s inline leach reactor and related modular mineral processing technologies can link up with CET\u2019s unique equipment and reagents designed to make the gold recovery and preparation cycle free of cyanide, mercury, and acid.<\/p>\n
Gekko CEO Andrew Edmondston said the sustainability-focused collaboration will be an exciting one for the industry.<\/p>\n
\u201cCET\u2019s new reagents, in combination with Gekko\u2019s world leading intensive leaching technologies, allows for mineral processing to become more environmentally friendly, while still achieving high recovery,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
CET CEO Kevin Fell founded the company in Singapore in 2019 and said this new memorandum of understanding will precede some cutting-edge work.<\/p>\n
\u201cGekko\u2019s mission to transform the mining industry and the environment aligns with our passion to come up with innovative technology that supports a clean, circular economy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a young company, Gekko\u2019s willingness to partner with us to seek out new opportunities validates the work we have done in the past three years.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gekko Systems was founded in Ballarat 26 years ago and is a global frontrunner in producing modular mineral processing equipment that\u2019s low energy, from design to engineering and manufacturing.<\/p>\n
They are also the inventor of medical grade ventilator, the GeVentor, engineered and manufactured in 2020 for COVID-19 patients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
