Mining Overview
Mineral Processing Reagents That Improve Recovery From Complex Ore
Improve recovery and selectivity with advanced flotation reagents
The LOCUS ADVANTAGE
Increase recovery from complex and lower-grade ores
Improve selectivity to separate value from gangue
Enhance performance without major process changes
Mineral processing reagents play a critical role as ore grades decline and processing systems are pushed to deliver more with less. Locus Mining develops biosurfactant-based flotation reagents that improve recovery and selectivity through structured testing and measurable performance across mineral processing systems.
The state of modern mineral processing
Mineral processing performance is increasingly dependent on flotation reagents as ore grades decline, impurity levels rise, and separation becomes more complex. Incremental improvements are harder to achieve, while variability across ore bodies continues to limit recovery and selectivity.
- Declining ore grades and rising complexity
- Increased reliance on flotation and multi-stage processing
- Water balance and entrainment affecting concentrate quality
- Limited innovation from legacy reagent chemistries
A structured, chemistry-first approach to flotation performance
Locus Mining improves mineral processing performance through targeted flotation reagents designed to increase recovery and selectivity, controlling entrainment and separation behavior directly, rather than relying on mechanical adjustments. Reagents are designed for real-world conditions and integrated into structured, evaluation-driven test programs.
- Improve recovery and selectivity together
- Reduce entrainment through chemistry, not mechanical fixes
- Enable low-risk evaluation through defined test programs
How our flotation reagents improve mineral processing performance
Performance is constrained by circuit limitations. Locus Mining addresses these constraints through structured evaluation, application-specific chemistry, and measurable validation.
