What is the true cost of your tailings strategy?

Dry stacking is no longer optional for many mine sites—it’s a condition for operating. But getting there often comes with high capital costs, energy-intensive systems, and tailings processes that struggle to keep pace with production.

The real cost? High capital, high energy, bottlenecks and downtime. Tailings systems that require frequent maintenance—like filters blinding from fine particles or thickeners struggling with variable feed—can quietly restrict production and inflate operational costs. All while pressure builds from regulators and stakeholders to deliver a safer, drier, more water-efficient solution.

If dry stacking is your only path forward, don’t let it be your biggest operational constraint.

Our Dry Stack Processing Technology, ATA®

Lower-Cost Pathway to Dry Stacking Tailings

ATA® uses a unique three-step process—Activator, Tether, Anchor—to rapidly convert tailings into high-strength solids and recover water.

The process begins by splitting the tailings stream into coarse and fine fractions using conventional equipment. Each stream is treated with a tailored polymer: one activates the fines, the other prepares the coarse particles. When recombined, the treated streams bind instantly, forming a stable, granular solid that can be easily separated from water using simple gravity filtration.

Unlike traditional flocculants or mechanical systems, ATA® produces solids that don’t re-disperse in water, offer high geotechnical strength and significantly reduce the load on downstream filtration—often enabling up to 60% smaller filtration area.

Whether used on its own or as a first step before low-pressure or vacuum filtration, ATA® helps you reach dry stacking faster, with lower cost and greater operational control.

Proven Results

From Australia to South Africa and Brazil, mine sites are showing how ATA® delivers a faster, more cost-effective path to dry stacking while recovering more water and streamlining operations.
