Industrial Minerals
Essential materials for manufacturing and construction

Sector‑agnostic by design
Industrial minerals—phosphates, potash, salt, silica, limestone, gypsum, clays, soda ash, barite, bentonite—are the quiet backbone of agriculture, manufacturing, and the built environment. They demand a delivery model that is bigger than "mine‑to‑gate." GEROS is deliberately sector‑agnostic because the economics and reliability of industrial minerals hinge on shared utilities (power and water), heavy‑haul logistics, port infrastructure, and structured offtake—the very systems that also serve our metals, oil & gas, and water programs. When one corridor handles both limestone for cement and diesel or LNG for power, when one water plant supports beneficiation and a nearby town, and when one financing stack spans fertilizers and fuels, unit costs fall and resilience rises. Integration is not an accessory; it is the value engine.
Where GEROS makes the difference
We pair domain specialists—geologists, geometallurgists, fertilizer process engineers, cement and glass technologists, tailings and water engineers, bulk‑material handling designers—with leading OEMs and EPC partners in each sub‑segment. That coalition lets us deliver flowsheets and plants that are fit‑for‑mineralogy and fit‑for‑infrastructure: Phosphates (scrubbing/desliming, low‑solids flotation, phosphoric acid production); Potash (conventional and solution mining, crystallization/evaporation); Silica/quartz (washing, classification, iron removal); Limestone/gypsum (quarry sequencing, kiln integration); Soda ash/trona (calcination, CO₂ management); Clays/bentonite/kaolin (rheology‑driven beneficiation); Barite (gravity concentration for drilling‑grade specs).
Exploration and resource confidence
We fuse remote sensing, structural interpretation, targeted geochem, and high‑resolution drilling to map deposit geometry, gangue distribution, and moisture variability. Early geometallurgy links mineral textures to liberation and product specs—reducing surprises in plant design and protecting margins against feed variability. Our mine planning teams sequence benches or panels to flatten grade swings and the penalties they cause downstream.
Process and environmental stewardship
Industrial minerals are often bulk operations; water and dust are major issues for community acceptance and efficiency. We design high‑recycle water circuits, thickening/paste systems, and dust suppression (fogging, enclosures, negative pressure) around crushers, transfer points, and load‑out. Tailings and by‑products—phosphogypsum stacks, red mud alternatives, fine silica slimes—receive engineered containment with monitoring, factor‑of‑safety design, and end‑of‑life reuse plans where technically sound.
Utilities, power, and heat
Calcination, kiln firing, evaporation, and crystallization depend on reliable, economical energy. GEROS brings gas‑to‑power, hybrid renewables, and process heat recovery to reduce energy intensity and stabilize operations. The same microgrids and LNG regas units that support oil & gas or metals support kilns, dryers, and crystallizers—elevating capacity factors and cutting LCOE through shared use.
Bulk logistics and sovereign corridors
Quarry‑to‑port economics make or break industrial minerals. We design conveyors, rail spurs, barge chains, and rapid‑load bulk terminals that also serve cement, fuels, and fertilizers. Sovereign‑aligned corridors keep tariffs at home, diversify routes beyond chokepoints, and standardize custody, metering, and contract execution across commodities.
Markets, offtake, and finance
For fertilizers, we align with blenders, distributors, and agriculture ministries, structuring seasonal offtake and, where appropriate, price‑floor protection. For construction materials, we work with cement producers, glass makers, and board manufacturers on multi‑year supply contracts indexed to verified product quality. On finance, we apply streaming/royalty and ECA/DFI participation—spreading capital between minerals and shared infrastructure (power, water, terminals) to accelerate first cash flow.
Digital operations and assurance
Inline analyzers (XRF/LOI/moisture), plant historians, and advanced control (MPC) stabilize product quality at lower reagent and energy use. IoT and vibration analytics on conveyors and crushers pre‑empt failures. Dashboards unify safety, environmental, and production KPIs, satisfying customers, regulators, and lenders.
KPIs we publish
Product spec compliance; recovery/yield by domain; kWh/t processed; water recycle ratio; dust exceedance incidents; OEE for crushers/mills; logistics cost per tonne‑km; local‑content share; LTIFR/TRIFR.
Outcome
A country‑scale industrial minerals platform that supplies agriculture, glass, cement, paper, and drilling markets while riding on corridors, power, and water assets that pay back across every GEROS vertical.
