Mining companies are under increasing pressure to maximise plant availability while maintaining safety, controlling maintenance costs and reducing unplanned downtime. In this environment, the efficiency of grinding mill maintenance has become a key contributor to operational performance, particularly during planned shutdowns.
Mill relining, once regarded primarily as a routine maintenance activity, is now recognised as a critical process that can influence equipment reliability, production continuity and overall plant efficiency. As a result, many mining operators are increasingly engaging specialist service providers with the technical expertise, experienced personnel and operational flexibility needed to execute these projects safely and efficiently.
Based in Cairns, Australia, IMR Group provides specialist mill relining, liner installation, engineering, fabrication and process plant maintenance services to the global mineral processing industry. The company supports mining operations through experienced field teams, technical capability and flexible project delivery across multiple jurisdictions.
Supporting Mining Operations Through Specialist Relining Services
IMR Group brings together multidisciplinary professionals with extensive experience in mineral processing. The company specialises in the safe, fast and flexible deployment of skilled teams, helping mining operations overcome practical challenges while adapting to changing project requirements. Its transparent, process-driven approach has made it a trusted partner across a range of global mining environments.
Its services extend beyond liner replacement to include engineering support, fabrication, shutdown maintenance and technical workforce solutions, enabling mining companies to access a broad range of operational expertise throughout the maintenance cycle.
Delivering expertise where it matters most
Mill relining is one of IMR Group's core services. Its experienced, safety-focused crews provide the installation, refitting and replacement of lining systems for Ball, SAG and Rod Mills, adapting to project requirements while ensuring work is completed efficiently.
The company also provides gold recovery services by training personnel to manage Gold Bearing Materials (GBM) in accordance with Gold Security Standards (GSS). Site-specific recovery methods help ensure the safe and efficient collection of accumulated metals from used mill lining.
Proven experience across major mining projects
IMR Group has supported mining operations across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region, working on projects spanning a range of commodities and processing environments.
Its project portfolio includes the Nui Phao polymetallic mine in Vietnam, the Masbate gold operation in the Philippines, and Papua New Guinea's Ok Tedi copper, gold and silver mine and the Lihir gold mine. The company has also worked at Indonesia's Martabe gold and silver mine and Australia's remote Granites gold operation.
These projects encompass mineral processing facilities incorporating crushing, grinding, flotation, carbon-in-leach (CIL), carbon-in-pulp (CIP) and cyanide detoxification circuits, reflecting experience across a diverse range of processing configurations.
Expanding support beyond the mine site
IMR Group has strengthened its capabilities through its partnership with SupplyE, combining technical expertise with comprehensive procurement services. Together, the two organisations provide critical-path teams, technical support and procurement assistance across mining operations.
As mining companies continue to prioritise productivity, safety and asset reliability, specialist maintenance providers are expected to remain an important part of operational planning. Through its combination of mill relining expertise, engineering capability, process plant maintenance and procurement support, IMR provides mining operators with a broad range of services designed to support planned shutdowns and ongoing maintenance programs. By integrating technical knowledge with experienced field teams and flexible project delivery, the company assists mining operations across Australia and international markets in maintaining critical processing infrastructure and supporting long-term operational performance.
