Development of the Albion process started during the early nineties led by Mount Isa Mines. It was first patented in 1993. Several pilot plant projects were conducted in 1994 and 1995 which tested the feasibility of using the technology to process high arsenic gold and copper ore. 
The Albion Process has been successfully installed in seven projects globally:
* GPM Gold Project (Gold, Armenia)
* Las Lagunas Tailings (Gold, Dominican Republic)
* Sable Copper Project (Copper, Chalcopyrite, Zambia)
* Asturiana de Zinc (Zinc, Spain)
* Nordenham Zinc Refinery (Zinc, Germany)
