01
Field-led validation
Laboratory findings are tested against representative ore characteristics and operating constraints from Tanzania’s goldfields.
About the project
Magnetic Gravity Gold Processing is a field-led research program advancing mercury-free recovery methods for the ore types, operating conditions, and environmental priorities found across Tanzania’s primary gold regions.
Our purpose
The project investigates how magnetic gravity separation can improve gold recovery without relying on mercury amalgamation or high-complexity chemical circuits.
Our work connects mineral processing science with field validation, focusing on methods that can be evaluated by mining operators, equipment partners, and research institutions in real conditions.
Research principles
01
Laboratory findings are tested against representative ore characteristics and operating constraints from Tanzania’s goldfields.
02
Environmental responsibility is embedded in the process concept, not added after the fact.
03
Research considers throughput, reagent use, energy demand, and modularity alongside recovery performance.
Research team
The project brings together expertise across mineral processing, field operations, and applied research. Team profiles and institutional affiliations will be published as collaboration agreements are finalized.
Process design, ferrofluid behavior, density separation, and recovery analysis.
Site sampling, trial planning, ore characterization, and operational validation.
Collaboration with mining operators, equipment manufacturers, and research institutions.
Tanzania field context
Tanzania’s Lake Victoria Goldfields and Lupa Goldfield regions contain a diverse mix of ore bodies, operating scales, and recovery challenges. The program focuses on the mineralogical variability that makes a one-size-fits-all processing approach unreliable.
By grounding trials in local conditions, the research aims to produce a credible pathway for evaluating magnetic gravity technology across both established operations and emerging processing environments.
