More Critical Minerals From What's Already Been Mined

We are developing process technology that recovers critical minerals and rare earth elements from material the mining industry already has on hand: mine tailings, waste rock, and direct ore. Our patent-pending platform pairs advanced mechanical separation with low-temperature chemical extraction, making mineral recovery more effective, cleaner, faster, and less energy-intensive, while strengthening domestic supply chains for the materials the energy transition depends on.

Flexible Feedstock

Our technology is feedstock-agnostic, enabling recovery of critical minerals from diverse ore types.

Reach

Developed and validated in the United States, with licensing opportunities for mining operators worldwide.

The Problem

Demand for critical minerals and rare earth elements is growing 25 to 30 percent annually, driven by electric vehicles, energy storage, defense systems, and electronics.
A new mine takes 15 to 25 years to bring into production. The world cannot wait that long, and it does not have to: existing mines and the tailings they have generated already contain enormous quantities of unrecovered minerals.

Unmet Demand

Global supply of critical minerals is not keeping pace with demand growth, and new mine development moves far too slowly to close the gap on its own.

Supply Chain Insecurity

Our patent-pending, two-stage platform combines advanced mechanical separation with low-temperature chemical extraction.
Together, these technologies recover critical minerals and rare earth elements from feedstocks that conventional methods cannot efficiently process, using significantly less energy and without the harsh acidic byproducts that conventional chemical extraction produces.

Our Solution

Key Advantages

Breakthrough Innovation

Our proprietary process goes beyond regulatory requirements to build a more environmentally sustainable approach to mineral processing, with Environmental, Social, and Governance considerations built into every stage.

Energy Efficiency

Our chemical extraction process reduces energy consumption by roughly 30 percent compared to industry-standard methods, lowering both environmental impact and production cost.

Cleaner Processing

Our low-temperature chemical extraction process eliminates the harsh acidic byproducts associated with conventional leaching, removing one of the most persistent sources of environmental harm in mineral processing.

Supply Chain Security

By enabling mineral recovery and refining closer to where minerals are needed, we help shorten supply chains and reduce reliance on foreign sources for materials critical to national and economic security.

Social Responsibility

We prioritize safe labor practices, transparency, and the elimination of compelled workforces throughout our supply chain. These commitments shape our design, construction, and production plans from the outset.

Value Proposition

Mineral processing today loses a substantial share of its target minerals before they ever reach a refinery. Conventional mechanical separation cannot efficiently capture fine and ultrafine particles, so they are discarded into tailings. Conventional chemical extraction then compounds the problem, operating above 1,000°C, consuming enormous energy, and producing acidic waste. Our platform addresses both stages under a single patent-pending system.

Already Paid For

The ore is already mined. Tailings represent a sunk cost, not a new extraction project. Our technology converts that liability into recovered material and, where applicable, new revenue for the site operator, at minimal incremental capital.

Recoverable Now

The opportunity is global and immediate, and it does not depend on new mine development timelines that can stretch 15 to 25 years.

No New Permits

Tailings recovery requires no new mining permits, no land acquisition, and no new environmental approvals. It is the fastest path to new critical mineral supply that does not depend on opening a new mine.

Restoration, Not Just Recovery

Our platform reduces waste volume and environmental risk at active tailings sites, and recovers minerals while stabilizing land at abandoned locations. Modular and mobile, it operates without existing infrastructure.

Sustainability Is Our Mission

Our mechanical separation and chemical extraction technologies are paving the way toward cleaner critical mineral production and a more secure, sustainable supply chain.
