Last week, Commerce Ballarat's Education Industry Day brought a passionate group of local educators behind the scenes of some of the region’s most innovative industries. Gekko Systems was proud to take part in the program and showcase how advanced manufacturing and world leading mineral processing technology are being designed and built right here in Ballarat.

Mark Donadio, General Manager – Organisational Capability delivered an insightful presentation on Gekko Systems’ history, our modular plant design philosophy, and the technologies that have shaped our 30 year journey, from the InLine Leach Reactor to the Python Processing Plant. The group then joined Mark for a guided tour through our manufacturing facility, gaining a firsthand look at the craftsmanship, engineering, and problem solving that underpin every Gekko solution.

We extend a sincere thank you to the educators who spent the afternoon with us, and to our team for generously sharing their time and expertise. Building connections between industry and education is essential to inspiring the next generation of engineers, metallurgists, and innovators who will shape the future of our sector.

In 2006, Gekko Systems was recognised with the Highly Commended Award for Minerals Processing Plant of the Year for the innovative processing plant installed at the Ballarat Gold Mine, a project that demonstrated the strength of Australian engineering and the capability of a regional Victorian team to deliver world‑class outcomes.

This installation marked a pivotal moment in Gekko Systems’ evolution. The Ballarat plant was one of the earliest largescale demonstrations of Gekko’s design philosophy: a lean, efficient, modular flowsheet built around gravity concentration, intensive leaching, and low energy comminution. The result was a plant that delivered strong recoveries, reduced environmental impact, and provided a more agile, lower-footprint alternative to traditional processing approaches.

The Ballarat plant became a reference point for what modern gold processing could look like, compact, efficient, and engineered for performance. It also reinforced the principles that continue to guide Gekko today:
▪️ Proudly Ballarat made and Australian designed technology
▪️ Energy efficient, reduced water flowsheets
▪️ Low energy comminution to reduce operating costs and environmental footprint
▪️ Real time data collection to support faster, more informed decision making
▪️ Solutions that consistently improve recoveries

This recognition validated not only the technology, but the ingenuity and dedication of the people behind it, a team committed to challenging convention and delivering smarter outcomes for the mining sector.

As we celebrate 30 years, the Ballarat plant remains a powerful example of how innovation, collaboration, and regional capability can deliver global impact.

30 years of passionate people and global solutions.

As Gekko Systems marks three decades of innovation, we are reflecting on the strategic milestones that transformed a regional Victorian startup into a trusted global technology partner.

Born in Ballarat, and proudly Australian designed and manufactured, Gekko Systems’ growth has always been driven by a clear purpose: deliver smarter, more efficient mineral processing solutions that reduce environmental impact while improving performance for our customers.

Rising international demand for energy efficient, recovery focused technologies saw Gekko establish its first offshore operations:

▪️ 2000 — Johannesburg, South Africa
▪️ 2002 — Toronto, Canada

These offices strengthened our ability to support diverse mining regions with the same high standards of innovation, technical excellence, and service that define our Australian operations.

Across 30 years, our commitment has remained consistent:
▪️ Preconcentration flowsheets that reduce energy and water use
▪️ Low energy comminution to lower operating costs and environmental footprint
▪️ Realtime data collection for faster, smarter decision making
▪️ Solutions that deliver measurable improvements in recovery

This approach, grounded in engineering rigour and shaped by passionate people, continues to guide our partnerships and our product development.

As we celebrate this milestone, we acknowledge the teams, customers, and collaborators who have helped build Gekko’s global footprint. The next chapter will be defined by the same values that have carried us from Ballarat to the world: innovation, integrity, and a relentless focus on better outcomes.

The InLine Leach Reactor, a defining Gekko Systems innovation

For nearly three decades, the InLine Leach Reactor (ILR) has stood as one of Gekko Systems’ most significant contributions to modern gold and silver recovery. Introduced in 1997, the ILR was the first commercial intensive leach reactor of its kind, setting a new global benchmark for secure, efficient precious metal extraction.

Engineered to replace traditional open circuit shaking tables, the ILR delivered a fully enclosed, intensive leaching environment that improved both security and metallurgical performance. What began as a continuous unit for high volume IPJ concentrates quickly evolved into a versatile batch configuration, enabling operations to treat a wide range of concentrate types with greater consistency and control.

From its early success in Australia to rapid uptake across Africa, the ILR became the preferred solution for operations seeking higher recoveries and improved security. Today, more than 200 units operate across major gold producing regions, the largest global installation base for intensive leaching of gravity concentrates. Notably, the original R&D prototype remains in service at the Henty Gold Mine in Tasmania, underscoring the technology’s durability and engineering strength.

The ILR has evolved to treat both coarse and fine concentrates, supporting gold and silver recovery in diverse plant configurations. In 2024, Gekko commissioned the next generation ILR3000 batch automatic unit, achieving 98–99% recoveries on startup, a milestone that reflects our commitment to ongoing improvement and operational excellence. Gekko’s intensive leach test protocols, developed specifically for the ILR, continue to guide plant design and optimisation globally.

The ILR exemplifies Gekko’s approach to innovation: smarter, more secure, and more efficient mineral processing. As we celebrate this milestone, we recognise the ILR not only as a world-first technology, but as a solution that continues to shape industry practice and deliver value for operations worldwide.

A pioneering idea in 1997, a global standard today.

Stay connected as we highlight the technologies, people, and breakthroughs driving the next era of smart, efficient mineral processing.
