Sepro attended this year’s MINExpo 2024

Mark Van Kleek completed his undergraduate degree in Mining and Mineral Processing from the University of British Columbia. He began his career in Aggregates and Industrial Minerals before advancing to Gravity Processing Technology. After extensive world travel and on-site experience, Mark attended Simon Fraser University to complete a Masters of Business Administration with a specialty in Technology Development.

Mark then returned to the mining and mineral processing industry, working with environmentally friendly technologies before accepting the role as President of Falcon Concentrators in 2004. Under Mark’s guidance, Falcon Concentrators purchased Sepro Mineral Processing International which amalgamated the two companies into what is now Sepro Mineral Systems Corp.

Through Mark’s strategic decision making, senior leadership and technical experience Sepro Mineral Systems continues to add to its well developed product lines and enjoy aggressive growth. Mark looks forward to expanding Sepro’s range of products and service to meet the ever changing needs of the mining and mineral processing industry.

Steve McAlister obtained an Honours degree in Civil Engineering in 1971 from Queen’s University and worked throughout Eastern Canada on heavy construction projects until moving to Abbotsford, BC in 1978. He is a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia. Exposure to placer mining while working on heavy construction projects in the Yukon led to a hobby of developing centrifugal concentration technology through the early 1980’s. In 1986, he founded Falcon Concentrators Inc. Under his guidance, Falcon developed and commercialized three centrifuge-based technologies that have expanded the range of application of gravity concentration to include ultra fine particles. Steve was also instrumental in recruiting an outstanding team of managers and engineers that have enabled Falcon to grow and prosper. Falcon became Sepro Mineral Systems Corp in 2008 after acquiring Sepro Mineral Processing International in the UK. Steve continues to serve on Sepro’s Board of Directors. Steve enjoys his grandchildren, golf and fishing as well as puttering with new inventions.
