Innovative Engineering for Solvent Extraction Mining
We deliver tailored engineering solutions for solvent-extraction, heap-leaching, and electrowinning processes, turning concepts into operational mining plants with precision and expertise. We ensure the best possible outcome for your project.
We design plants from concept to construction using our equipment and technology, using selected equipment from our partners and preferred suppliers. We use proven technologies and methods for heap leach, solvent extraction and electrowinning plant design.
We understand the benefits and pitfalls in each area, and can provide specialist knowledge in the development of your project. We provide a full range of client support services from test work, design, supply and construction, to commissioning and process optimisation
Engineering Excellence in Mining Processes
We deliver integrated process solutions with dedicated technical expertise and ongoing support services. We achieve economic and environmental goals to improve the performance of both large and small mining operations.
With a worldwide reputation for evaluating projects, testing ores, feasibility studies, design and supply of SX-EW plants, we provide full construction, ongoing operations support and maintenance services.
We use the best mix of our proprietary equipment and vendor supply to deliver high quality, competitively priced plants. We enter into license arrangements with other equipment suppliers and provide licenses for our proprietary designs.
Innovative Solutions for Efficient Mining Processes
Southern Cross Process Technologies delivers expert engineering tailored to solvent-extraction, heap-leaching, and electrowinning, ensuring reliable and scalable mining plant solutions from concept to medium-scale production.
Our focus on heap leach design includes our own protocols for testing and assessing leach performance. We use advanced modelling based on proven testing regimes to assess ores for heap leaching. We design heaps using the latest geotechnical analysis and civil engineering techniques.

Engineering Success in Mining Process Solutions
Learn how Southern Cross Process Technologies tackled complex mining challenges, delivering efficient solvent-extraction and electrowinning plants that boost productivity.
We have optimized designs for agglomeration drums, conveyors and stacking equipment. In our modelling of construction costs for heap development, we take account of local factors, including: labour skill levels, working conditions, and availability of earth-moving machinery.
Driving Sustainable Growth through Innovative Engineering
Our comprehensive approach helps mining operations optimise heap-leaching processes to achieve superior output.
We provide complete engineering service for SX-EW and heap leach projects, ranging from ore assessment and feasibility studies to equipment supply and plant construction.
We conduct feasibility studies which include: test work, process design, plant layout, capital and operating cost estimates, construction plans and project development strategies. Our feasibility studies can vary in detail from a basic scoping study examination of development options to preliminary economic assessment, to pre-feasibility (PFS) and bankable feasibility (DFS).
Innovating Mining Operations with Tailored Technologies
Our specialized engineering solutions streamline mining workflows, enhance recovery rates, and lower operational costs.
We have advanced laboratory facilities in Brisbane, Australia for testing solvent extraction at bench scale and continuous SX-EW pilot. We can conduct column leaching tests using a wide range of column sizes, applying rigorous testing regimes and data evaluation models for determining: leaching rate, acid consumption, hydrodynamic characteristics and heap risk assessments.
Engineering Excellence for Mining Success
Reliable capital costs estimates are a key outcome for most feasibility studies and project assessments. Our experience in all aspects of site construction for SX-EW plants enables our accurate and informative capital cost estimates which can be used in your project financial analysis and budgeting. This is a crucial element of our commitment to precision and client satisfaction.
