Welcome to Creamer Media’s Resources Watch, a weekly video round-up of the events and people making and shaping the news in the mining industry.

This week:
Water treatment company Miwatek’s optimizes the AMD treatment process.
Tin mining is set to return to South Africa after a quarter-century break.
And, a ‘unique’ AMD solution is a revenue earner rather than a cost.

Advanced water treatment company Miwatek has optimised its acid mine drainage treatment technology to create a zero-liquid discharge process that only uses a single stage of reverse-osmosis processing.

Tin mining is poised to be resuscitated in South Africa 25 years after the tin price collapsed and forced South Africa’s once resplendent Zaaiplaats and Rooiberg tin flagships to close.

Local chemical engineering technology company Trailblazer Technologies’ patented KNeW process for treating acid mine drainage is unique in that it provides a return on investment, as opposed to being an added cost to the mining process, says Trailblazer Technologies director John Bewsey.
