Efficient metals Recovery for ores & waste streams

Whether you're facing complex ores or planning a conventional flowsheet, our team can assess if LithX is right for you.

Supplying the Global Demand for Critical Metals.

Global demand for critical metals is increasing rapidly, driven by the growth of electrification, clean energy, and advanced manufacturing. Yet recovery remains constrained by falling ore grades, rising costs, and increasingly complex feedstocks. At the same time, producers face mounting pressure to improve economics, reduce environmental impact, and extract more value from existing resources.
‍
Maverick Metals is helping operators meet these challenges. Our breakthrough lixiviant technology, LithX, enables efficient metal recovery from a wide range of ores and residual materials – without the need for high heat, added acid, or major infrastructure upgrades. Operating at ambient temperature, LithX integrates seamlessly into conventional flowsheets and unlocks new value from low-grade and complex resources, as well as legacy waste streams.

Unlocking Higher Recovery – and Profits.

Whether you're reclaiming metals from slag or processing conventional materials, LithX improves recovery and enhances profitability, without the need for costly infrastructure or added acids. See how Maverick Metals is expanding what’s possible in critical metal extraction.

COPPER

For operators working with sulfides, oxides, or tailings.

Enable recovery from chalcopyrite and other refractory sulfides, without the need for added acid or high-temperature pretreatment. Achieve cost-effective recovery from stockpiles, slag, and low-grade ore bodies where conventional technologies fall short. Extract valuable byproducts like molybdenum, gold, and silver to maximize yield and improve profitability.

CUSTOM Applications

For operations with complex or underutilized materials.

Not every feedstock fits a conventional flowsheet. LithX makes it possible to recover metals from mixed materials, low-grade ores, and unconventional waste streams that traditional chemistries can’t handle. Whether you're developing a new deposit or trying to get more out of what you already have, our team can help assess if a custom approach makes sense for your operation.
