ELANDRIDGE

Services

Two divisions. One accountable chain.

Mining & Operations and Mineral Beneficiation & Extractive Metallurgy, applied across Zimbabwe’s minerals and ores — supported by plant delivery and a shared advisory offering, including practical systems for small-scale mining.

Division 01

Mining & Operations

From orebody to run-of-mine ore: defining the resource, designing the mine, and delivering grade-controlled production.

Mine Engineering & Design

  • Open pit mine design and scheduling
  • Underground mine design
  • Surface mining
  • Mineral resource management
  • Mineral reserve estimation
  • Geotechnical engineering — open pit
  • Rock engineering — underground
  • On-mine tailor-made grade control systems

Development, Operations & Advisory

  • Bulk earthworks
  • Materials handling and logistics
  • Machinery and mining equipment
  • Feasibility studies
  • Compilation of competent persons’ reports
  • Mineral asset valuation
  • Due diligence studies
  • Risk evaluations

Division 02

Mineral Beneficiation & Extractive Metallurgy

From ore to metal: characterising, concentrating, leaching and recovering — and building the plants that do it.

Processing & Recovery

  • Mineralogy and material characterisation
  • Comminution — crushing, grinding, ultrafine grinding
  • Sizing and classification
  • Beneficiation, physical separation and gravity concentration
  • Froth flotation
  • In-situ, heap and agitation leaching; pressure oxidation
  • Cyanidation — CIP, CIL and CIS
  • Solvent extraction, ion exchange and electrowinning
  • Slurry rheology and pumping system design
  • Solid–liquid separation — CCD thickening, clarification, filtration

Plant Engineering & Specialist

  • Process plant design
  • Process plant troubleshooting, evaluation and optimisation
  • Circuit modelling and process control
  • Metallurgical accounting
  • Critical process management
  • Operational excellence
  • Project development and commissioning
  • Due diligence and feasibility studies for processing projects
  • Physical metallurgy; pyrometallurgy (ferrous and nonferrous)
  • Minerals beneficiation strategy and value addition

Signature capability

Signature Capability — Plant Delivery

Elandridge delivers full-scale plants end to end — design, fabrication, installation and commissioning — including CIP circuits and processing plants matched to the mineral.

  • CIP, CIL and CIS plant design and delivery
  • Beneficiation and recovery plants matched to the ore
  • Heap leach design and construction
  • Tailings storage facility construction and monitoring
  • Dump sampling and quantification
  • Process optimisation and automation
  • Ongoing maintenance and technical support

Shared offering

Advisory & Small-Scale Mining

Spanning both divisions and available as standalone engagements.

  • Integrated feasibility studies and due diligence across mining and processing
  • Environmental and sustainability consulting
  • Technical audits and troubleshooting
  • Training, capacity building and specialised short courses
  • Practical technologies for small-scale mining — from mining method to processing and recovery
