Technology Solutions
Since 1996, Gekko has been developing technologies to improve
cost-to-recovery ratios, enhance operational efficiencies, extend
mine life, and protect the environment. Gekko’s innovation and
development cycle provides clients with clear answers, state-of-the-art concepts, optimised installations, and high yields.
Technology Solutions include: Low cost technologies that increase gold recovery (IPJ, ILR, G-Rex) and Engineered solutions (Python, a treating satellite and underground deposits, and the Gravity Box.)
Real-Time Instrumentation (RTI)
Gekko’s real-time instrumentation provides metallurgists with a comprehensive set of data to monitor and control the CIL circuit effectively. The real-time insights obtained enable metallurgical professionals to make informed decisions, optimise processes, and enhance overall operational efficiency.
If you are interested in our digital solutions have a look at the OLGA, Online Gold Analyser and the Carbon Scout, for real time Carbon Management or the fully Integrated Ground System, which seamlessly incorporates the Carbon Scout, OLGA, Cyanide Analyser, and Neon (real-time data analytics platform).
Carbon Scout
Carbon Scout
The Carbon Scout is a self-contained, ground-level sampling system that measures the carbon concentration in CIL and carbon-in-pulp circuits to an accuracy of ±0.5 grams of carbon per litre of pulp. The unit also provides other operating data important to the leaching process including slurry density, pH, Dissolved oxygen (DO) and most recently the measurement of gold loading on carbon. Data profiles are provided from every leach tank, every hour. Learn more about the Carbon Scout
Chemicals
Chemicals
Gekko provides process chemicals in conjunction with its well established technical and process optimisation support to the mining industry.
Gekko’s optimised chemicals ensure improved performance. Benefits may include:
- A faster and effective gold production process (GoldiLOX)
- Control cyanide spills (Ferric Sulphate)
- Prevent a passivation film forming on the gold surface (Lead Nitrate)
- Remove impurities in water (Ferric Chloride)
- pH Control in electrowinning (Sodium Hydroxide)
Ground System
Data Integrated Ground System
This system, developed in collaboration with world-class researchers from CSIRO and Curtin University over 15 years, will be essential to automate a gold leaching circuit.
The fully integrated System seamlessly incorporates technologies, including the Gekko Carbon Scout, Gekko OLGA, Cyanide Analyser, and Neon (real-time data analytics platform).
The real-time insights obtained through this system enable metallurgical professionals to make informed decisions, optimise processes, and enhance overall operational efficiency. Learn more about the Data Integrated Ground System.
GoldiLOX
GoldiLOX
An advanced leach accelerant able to increase gold recovery while shortening intensive cyanidation times, making gold production a faster and more effective process. Learn more about GodliLOX
InLine Leach Reactor
InLine Leach Reactor
The ILR has provided an alternative from traditional physical separation steps, such as using recovery tables, into a lucrative chemical separation process. The ILR’s innovative design and efficient mineral leaching chemistry is providing cost, production and environment gains to hundreds of operations worldwide.
The ILR can be easily retrofitted to any grinding circuit. The modular, small footprint design requires minimal space for integration. The ILR’s chemical handling is automated and important leach parameters are electronically controlled, making operations faster and safer. Tailings generated are smaller and can be coupled with the detoxification of cyanide, which protects the environment. Learn more about the ILR
InLine Pressure Jig
InLine Pressure Jig
The innovative IPJ is a continuous gravity separation device that rapidly and efficiently pre-concentrates high-value and high density mineral particles such as tin, tantalum, sulphides and free gold. With installations worldwide the unit has multiple applications including assisting in gangue rejection and combining with flotation to recover coarse minerals at the +100 micron range. The IPJ has significant benefits such as low water consumption, low footprint, ease of operation and 30 years of operational history. Learn more about the IPJ.
InLine Spinner
InLine Spinner
Clean, high-grade concentrates of gold and heavy minerals are achieved with Gekko’s InLine Spinner (ISP). The simple, low maintenance ISP is a cost-effective tool for separating coarse and fine particles.
Adding an ISP to mine operations will upgrade recoveries from intermediate or low-grade ores and lower operating costs. It requires no water for elutriation, is fully automated and can produce a high-grade smelter-ready product. Furthermore, because the product volume is smaller, fewer chemicals are required downstream, offering significant cost savings. Learn more about the ISP.
Modular Elution Systems
Modular Elution Systems
Cadia Systems and Gekko have joined forces to provide the market with turn key modular systems for elution, regeneration and Gold Room, providing the expert knowledge of Cadia with the delivery capability from Gekko’s state of the art manufacturing facility and world wide presence for maintenance and customer support for life of mine. Learn more about Elution Systems.
Modular Systems
Modular Systems
Offering significant cost benefits and a low environmental footprint; Gekko process designers customise self-contained high recovery plants for minimal start-up capital, using high-quality components and in-house expertise.
These flexible modular plants are engineered to deliver super-efficient, environmentally friendly recoveries, by cleverly combining Gekko’s gravity pre-concentration, flotation and intensive leach technologies. Learn more about Modular Systems
OLGA
OLGA
OLGA is a world first onstream analyser designed to continuously read low grade gold grades in slurries and solutions, giving operations the ability to see and control their plants in real time. The alternative traditional sampling methods involve significant delays – of up to one or two days for feedback. Learn more about the OLGA
Python
Python
The Python is an award-winning, modular, ore-concentration plant. It’s cleverly designed to increase revenues, lower operating costs and deliver better environmental outcomes.
Installed above ground or deep within mines, the Python specialises in utilising energy-efficient comminution, gravity separation and flotation processes to reduce the ore to a coarse size, which reduces the downstream processing energy costs. Learn more about the Python
Spare parts
Spare Parts
Gekko have spare parts for all their proprietary equipment, available and ready for immediate shipping.
Better still, customers can pre-order spare parts for their Gekko equipment. The part will then be available on site when the time comes to replace it. Rapid availability of spare parts is critical for preventing lost production due to ordering and shipping time of parts.
Wolff
Wolff Concentrator (BCC)
The Wolff Concentrator is a groundbreaking technology designed to transform gold processing by utilising “dirty” water. This ‘first of its kind’ innovation enables mining companies to recycle water efficiently, addressing water stewardship and enhancing sustainability, while reducing maintenance costs and requirements.
