We are backed by industry leaders.
Our proven technology
1.
Enables the extraction of previously trapped copper resources
2.
Has been successfully implemented in low capex, high return projects
3.
Extends the life of existing mines by creating new mineral reserves that can be processed using spare capacity of existing infrastructure
4.
Reduces the environmental impact of copper production, cutting emissions of CO2, SOx and NOx by 40%, 70% and 70% respectively and using less than half the water of pyrometallurgical approaches 1
5.
Protects jobs and communities that are dependent on the continued operation of historic mines
6.
Vast total addressable copper market and significant first mover advantage
