  Putting serious blue sky in your bottom line
Overview 
iPUT  Pty Ltd  is a  high‐performance engineering design construct company with  the capacity to  achieve 
excellent value outcomes in any mining industry project. Innovation is in our core DNA, not just our name. 

Our  innovative,  highly  practical  approach  is  derived  from  a  heritage  of  major  mining  industry  turnkey 
projects undertaken by our key personnel since the mid 80’s. Our results oriented bottom‐line focus had 
its  genesis  in  the  NSW  &  Qld  coal  industry,  and  has  been  complemented  over  the  years  by  widely 
experienced, like‐minded professionals who have brought diversity into iron ore and mineral sands. 

Whether we are providing professional resources for hire under our uniquely configured human resources 
service, or turnkey solutions with our state of the art process design capability, our focus is on high value 
adding  outcomes  for  our  clients.  Not  just  words;  we  sincerely  approach  every  engagement  with  this 
mindset. How? With an open, participative, fair‐minded leadership culture, so our people WANT TO. 

A core theme of our CAN DO attitude is to break through perceived performance ceilings to new levels of 
“yes‐we‐can”, applying unique solutions that lift productivity and efficiency to generate exceptional value 
for our clients. Our unique, innovative, and economical solutions are built upon strong foundations of our 
deep experience, project delivery acumen and collaborative teamwork with customers.  

These many successes make us a valuable provider of major new or retrofit upgrade projects including: 
 Wet or dry beneficiation / processing plants and associated systems 
 Bulk materials handling conveyor systems 
 Crushing and sizing facilities 
 Stockpiling, stacking, and reclaiming systems 
 Expanded flow bulk bins, hoppers & surge capacity systems 
 Automated truck and train loading / receival systems 
 Maintenance and operational support systems 
 Mining development systems

Key Strengths 
iPUT’s key strength is its core people with the ability to execute projects economically for clients whilst 
producing excellent technical results. Embracing worthwhile new tech, in ways that make ownership a joy. 
Having close relationships and considerable experience working with many key industry providers allows 
the team to successfully control project risks and ensure overall project delivery is achieved on time and 
within budget. Well experienced with collaborative strategic Alliances / JV’s to enhance project outcomes. 
Our  successful  process  and  system  design,  and  subsequent  plant  layout,  balances  huge  volumes  of 
information  using  modern  technology  to  find  a  pathway  through  the  many  competing  demands  and 
restrictions applicable to a modern mine environment. We make your data work, for you. 
An ability to creatively bind the core elements together to provide robust, fault tolerant, workable designs, 
with a lower whole‐of‐life cost profile, is a key outcome of iPUT involvement. Focus on the all‐important 
concept stage, with pragmatic visualisation and detailed explanation, is where the combination of deep 
skill and innovative conceptualisation pays dividends for clients. Our extensive knowledge of operational 
requirements is built into the details. We configure equipment that is easy to operate and maintain, and 
are often told by experienced operators that our installations are the best they have seen of their type. 
iPUT’s expertise stems from the coal mining industry, but with considerable experience in steel, various 
mineral sand ores, aluminium, grain, glass, rail, and transport industries. Scope of service provision covers 
all  investigative  engineering,  feasibility  study  and  budget  preparation,  design,  earthworks,  civils, 
mechanicals, structurals, sitework, electricals and commissioning. 
From “hard money” to “risk sharing” style of contracts, iPUT is always prepared to meet the customer’s 
preferred  mode  of  contracting.  Projects  performed  have  included  underground  conveyors  and  general 
mining equipment, as well as major rolling stock upgrades. We have also set up, operated and / or advised 
several $/t or $/service BOOT/M contracts, and have a deep understanding of the critical success factors. 
In  2013  iPUT  commenced  an  innovative  business  development  growth  phase  to  implement  iPUT's 
patented  beneficiation  plant  Step‐Change  throughput  increase  technology,  initially  in  coal  and 
progressively  through  iron  ore  and  a  range  of  other  minerals.  With  a  proof  of  concept  installation  late 
2016, being regarded as fully proven mid‐2017, and realisation new product grades are possible, this tech 
is set to reshape the industry. We look forward to step change ↑profitability↑ for clients that take it up! 
iPUT can also arrange full cash flow positive project financial backing, off‐balance sheet, if required. You 
pay for the upgrade from additional profit after it is operational.  
We  would  be  happy  to  assist  any  customer  to  quickly  find  the  most  economically  viable  and  practical 
options to assist with their materials handling, processing, or general plant upgrade needs.
