Tailings De-watering Technology at Copper: Phibion's Commitment to Sustainable Mining

Phibion is set to showcase its innovative tailings management solutions at Copper to the World 2025, Australia's premier copper conference, held on August 26–27 in Adelaide. With the theme “The Copper Advantage: Powering the Future,” the event will delve into copper's pivotal role in the global energy transition and the technologies of tomorrow.

Jacques Janse to Present Phibion’s AMC™ Technology

Jacques Janse, Phibion’s CEO, will present the company's proprietary AMC (Accelerated Mechanical Consolidation) technology. This advanced solution addresses critical challenges in tailings management by enabling in-situ dewatering and consolidation without the need for filtration or complex CAPEX investments. Field results from copper and zinc sites have demonstrated over 300,000 m³ of material recovered, achieving strength greater than 50 kPa within 60 days. These advancements support safer, faster mine closure and contribute to more sustainable mining practices. Phibion aims to lead the way in responsible tailings management.

Conference Highlights

Hosted by Austmine in partnership with the South Australian Government, Copper to the World 2025 will feature:

• Keynote presentations from industry leaders and innovators.

• Dynamic panel discussions addressing pressing challenges and opportunities.

• Innovation sessions showcasing the latest advancements in the copper industry.

• Networking opportunities connecting decision-makers, innovators, and suppliers.

• A vibrant exhibition highlighting cutting-edge technologies offered by world-leading METS companies.
