AMEC Minproc - what do we do?

As an engineering and project delivery company, we take our clients from finding out if there is anything worthwhile processing, through to building and maintaining the plant that extracts the resources. We do the technically complex projects, or as our engineers say, ‘interesting and challenging work’.

We take on the ‘interesting and challenging’ projects because, our engineers are great engineers. They are innovative, they like to solve problems and they like to explore. So we need to provide them with variety. Options in technologies, options in commodities, options in project size and options in project locations. Here are just a few of the options we can offer.

Nickel – a core world commodity
AMEC Minproc is leading the world in nickel extraction technologies. We have worked on the biggest and most technologically complex nickel projects in the world. You could say that we are in our element when it comes to nickel!

Uranium – a controversial resource
Uranium and its use can be a hot topic in Australia at the moment but it’s the technically complex extraction process that we are interested in. As a commodity with increasing relevance, our experienced team is refining processes to help make an explorer's dream become reality, with an established team and current experience in uranium project development. 

Iron Ore – steel the one
With the rise in China’s economy comes a demand for iron ore. AMEC Minproc has a wealth of experience in the iron ore industry. The company’s engineering and construction skills, combined with its technology, process engineering and mining divisions have resulted in the ability to cover the full spectrum of mining and processing activities of both large and small projects.

Copper – a commodity with a big future
As just one of the commodities that is in demand, copper is another one of our specialties. We have worked on a number of copper projects throughout the world and at the Cadia Hill Project, installed the largest semi autogenous grinding (SAG) mill and two of the largest ball mills in the world.

Gold – where it all began
Since our inception, gold has been our staple. We are proud to have ‘cut our teeth’ on this precious commodity and have delivered more gold plants in Australia than any other company over the last 30 years or so.
