The Toowong Process, developed by Core Resources, has received significant recognition for its innovative approach to removing arsenic and antimony from base metal concentrates. This breakthrough technology provides a cleaner, more sustainable solution for the mining industry, addressing key environmental and metallurgical challenges.

Recognition at the Australian Innovation Challenge

In 2015, the Toowong Process was named a finalist in the Australian Innovation Challenge, highlighting its potential to transform the way high-arsenic concentrates are processed. The awards ceremony, held in Canberra, showcased leading technologies across multiple industries, with the Toowong Process standing out for its environmental and operational benefits.

Winning the ATC Mining Technology Award

In 2016, the Toowong Process won the ATC Mining Technology Award, further cementing its status as a leading innovation in mineral processing. This award recognised Core Resources’ dedication to developing practical and sustainable solutions for managing arsenic in base metal concentrates.

METS Ignited Collaboration Award

Core Resources’ partnership with Mineral Technologies in advancing the Toowong Process was acknowledged with the METS Ignited Collaboration Award in 2018. This recognition emphasised the importance of industry collaboration in developing and commercialising technologies that enhance mineral processing efficiency and environmental responsibility.

Industry Impact and Future Development

The Toowong Process provides a cost-effective method for removing harmful elements from mineral concentrates at the mine site, improving product quality while minimising environmental risks. Extensive research and pilot testing have demonstrated its effectiveness, with ongoing engagement from industry partners to implement the technology at various operations.
