We had the pleasure of hosting Adam Schofield and Andrew Taplin of Heavy Minerals Limited at our AMPP Industrial Coating Applicator (ICA) training in Melbourne (Aug 12-16, 2024). Heavy is opening their new massive Port Gregory Garnet Project, in Western Australia. Meeting international standards and specifications is crucial for Heavy's Port Gregory Garnet project: - Standards such as those from AMPP (SSPC-AB 1, Mineral and Slag Abrasives), ISO11126-10 (Almandine Garnet) and NAVSEA MIL-PRF-22262C(SH) (Performance Specification - Abrasive Blasting Media, Ship Blast Cleaning). - The role that blast media plays in achieving surface cleanliness & roughness, and also nuisance dust generated during abrasive blasting. - The critical importance of minimising soluble salts to lessen the chance of premature coatings failure. ABSS has signed on as a founding distributor of 15,000 tpa of Heavy’s Garnet, approx. 10% of the total production from the Western Australian Port Gregory Garnet mine. Heavy has pegged more than 60 km's along the Western Australian coast, nearby Port Gregory, and has already identified two world-class deposits, the Port Gregory Garnet Mine and the Redhill Garnet Mine.
