GLOBAL PARTNERS

Global Partners / Strategic Alliances

  • RMS has forged strong alliances with the world’s leading centrifugal concentrator company, where we assist in design, machining, fabrication and marketing some of their products worldwide.
  • RMS has also forged an alliance with one of the largest heavy duty manufacturers in China. This company builds screens, SAG Mills, Ball Mills, Rod Mills. They build tunneling machines up to 14 meters in diameter, and Cement plants up to 10,000 TPD.
  • RMS represents the world’s most efficient skyline excavation system for mining applications.
  • RMS works closely with a state-of-the-art hydrometallurgy and selective resins company, who offer patented and proprietary separation solutions for mine processes, mine tailing & environmental remediation applications.
  • RMS has also worked closely since the early development stages with a highly advanced boutique gold and PGM refinery that is closed to the public, but is open to RMS customer concentrates when brought through RMS as intermediary.

Innovative Examples

Toxic Slag Project

With the ability to analyze effectively the structure of mine or smelter slag, and to develop extraction and recovery methodologies of the toxic substances and remaining metal values, a system has been designed that will effectively accomplish this in a manner that will be of great benefit to the surrounding environment, while being extremely profitable.

Zircon Sand Project

In a country with mountains of zircon sand as a byproduct of mining other metals, RMS has worked to devise a process to extract radio active thorium and uranium from the crystalline lattice of the sand particles. This makes this high value good exportable to the world market and eliminates the environmental disaster it was causing. Uranium, zircon, thorium, tantalum, niobium and gold will all be valuable commodities recovered and sold while remediating this material. Subsidies will be paid per ton for the remediation work.

Nugget Recovery

Gold Nuggets recovered using RMS-Ross equipment

For northern Alaska, USA, a recovery circuit was devised by RMS for mining gold from heavily bouldered ground. RMS came up with a solution to identify and effectively scan the oversize material and recover valuable nuggets of gold and platinum that would have gone into the oversize tailings.

Extraction from ‘plastic’ gold bearing clays

In areas of west Africa, there are very good gold values which are encased in very ‘plastic’ clays, which local women “knead” like dough in bowls full of water in the river, trying to liberate some of the values recoverable by hand work.

RMS analyzed the material and came to realize that the particle size in general is smaller than can be gravity recovered. By working with a team of closely affiliated specialists, RMS now has a method to instantly break the electrostatic bonds that hold the clay together, leach out and effectively filter the entrained gold, allowing for a recovery 10 times as high as the original geological studies were able to reveal.

Extraction of fine gold particles from iron mine tailings

In the United States, a former iron mine left behind dry mine tailings ponds with 180 million tons of tailings (wastes), which also had showed significant gold values, but leach extraction is not allowed in this state, and all other recovery approaches had failed.

RMS had the material analyzed in a number of specialized ways. Advanced separation work was done with associates who formed an advanced magnetic separation science group in Israel and St Petersburg, Russia.

It was determined that there was significant gold within the tailings, and that with the use of these new advanced separation systems, that:

  • an enormous amount of gold could be recovered daily
  • clean magnetite and hematite products could be produced, for which there is now a 1 million ton per month contract in place with a steel factory in China
  • a fourth product of rare earths could also be separated and sold

RMS has therefore been able to create what will soon be a multi-billion dollar project from what another major international mining company considered to be wastes.
