The Process
STEP 1
STEP 1
STEP 1
Our patented process uses hydrogen to liberate target metals (Zn, Ni, Co & Cu) from complex iron oxides.
STEP 2
STEP 1
STEP 1
Our unique acid leaching process selectively dissolves the target metals.
STEP 3
STEP 1
STEP 3
Electricity is used to recover the dissolved target metals at high-purity.
