Multotec is pushing higher-precision mineral separation with high-efficiency spiral concentrators and hydrocyclones, backed by manufacturing, R&D and field service operations in more than 100 countries. The company is leveraging over 20 years of Canadian site experience to optimise spiral and cyclone configurations for local orebodies, including cold-climate installations and variable feed conditions. For plant designers and metallurgists, the focus is on tighter cut points, reduced bypass and improved water balance, directly affecting recovery, tailings load and overall circuit stability.

North American Construction Group’s wholly owned subsidiary ML Northern Services has secured a five-year heavy equipment services contract with a major Canadian oil sands operator, focused on mobile fuel delivery. The scope covers ultra-class haul trucks and other large mining units, shifting fuelling from fixed bays to in-pit mobile services to cut non-productive travel and queuing. For mine operators, the move signals continued outsourcing of critical support fleets and reinforces the need to integrate fuel logistics with dispatch, haul planning and maintenance scheduling.

Pelican Australia is cutting equipment damage and unplanned downtime at remote mine sites by supplying engineered Pelican-Trimcast protective cases and rugged lighting systems designed for red dust, high humidity, vibration, and temperature extremes. Custom foam inserts, IP-rated polymer shells, and pressure equalisation valves are being used to protect high-value assets such as survey instruments, communications gear, and control electronics during fly-in fly-out logistics and in-vehicle transport. For reliability engineers, the approach targets reduced mean time between failures and fewer site visits for repairs in hard-to-access pits and processing plants.
