Mining: Extracting with Precision

Once exploration confirms the viability of a mineral deposit, the next step is mining. This stage involves the extraction of minerals from the earth—a process that requires precision, efficiency, and sustainability. At Arima Minerals, we employ environmentally responsible mining practices to minimize ecological impact while ensuring maximum resource recovery.

Our Sierra Leone operations, for instance, include a strategic joint venture to produce Heavy Mineral Concentrate (HMC) with a wet concentration plant designed for optimal extraction. Similarly, in Mozambique, we focus on exploring and extracting high-quality ilmenite deposits while adhering to sustainable practices.

Processing: Transforming Raw Minerals

The processing stage is where raw minerals are transformed into refined, high-quality products. This involves a series of steps, including crushing, grinding, separation, and washing, to extract valuable components and achieve industry-grade specifications.

Our state-of-the-art mineral separation plants in the UAE and Vizag, India, exemplify our commitment to excellence in processing. These facilities are equipped with advanced machinery to process HMC into individual minerals like garnet, zircon, rutile, ilmenite, leucoxene, and sillimanite. With a combined annual processing capacity of over 250,000 tonnes, we ensure consistent delivery of premium-quality minerals.

Meeting Global Industry Needs

The final stage of the journey involves delivering processed minerals to industries worldwide. These minerals serve as foundational materials for sectors such as construction, aerospace, automotive, and technology. At Arima Minerals, we pride ourselves on our ability to meet the diverse and evolving needs of global industries through timely and reliable supply chains.

Sustainability and Innovation

Throughout the journey of minerals, sustainability and innovation remain at the core of our operations. From exploration to processing, we adopt eco-friendly practices and innovative technologies to minimize environmental impact and enhance efficiency. This commitment ensures that our operations contribute positively to the communities and ecosystems we work in.

Conclusion

The journey of minerals is a testament to the transformative power of human ingenuity and advanced technology. At Arima Minerals, we are proud to be at the forefront of this journey, driving excellence at every stage. From exploration to the final delivery of high-quality products, we continue to pave the way for a sustainable and prosperous future in the mineral industry.
