Mining

Utilising and Commercialising Mine waste

With the unique ability to convert hard rock mine waste into viable green products, Nu-Rock technology is great news for the global mining industry. With each manufacturing module capable of processing up to 500,000 tonnes of material (depending on waste stream and product type), the patented Nu-Rock on site manufacturing process is the perfect green solution for working mines.

Official testing confirms that Nu-Rock’s ‘Formulated Rock’ technology permanently locks up heavy metals and other geological material, including radioactive elements. Hard Rock mine waste can be utilised to manufacture high volumes of commercially viable Nu-Rock products such as Pavers, Aggregates for Road Building, Mine Backfill, Stemming Aggregates and more.

Another significant benefit of Nu-Rock Technology for mining companies includes significant cost savings on costly waste management handling, disposal and mine site remediation.

Emissions free manufacturing

Nu-Rock‘s ‘Formulated Rock’ technology involves an emissions free manufacturing process. A vast improvement on the centuries-old, energy-hungry processes involving the quarrying, transporting and kiln burning of limestone at 1500°C. Plus, the quarrying and transporting of precious and finite natural resources such as sand and aggregates. Or energy hungry Clay based product manufacturing that involves a 7-day warming and drying process at 500°C followed by a 3-day firing process at 1050°C.
