Extract more Value Where Flowsheets Stall

Unlock trace platinum group metals from low-grade sulfides, tailings, and byproduct streams – without smelting, high-temperature refining, or added complexity.

A Practical Path to Platinum Group Metals Recovery.

Demand for platinum group metals is rising across clean energy, automotive, and industrial sectors - yet a growing share of these metals is tied up in tailings, low-grade ores, and copper and nickel byproduct streams. For many operators, conventional recovery methods can’t justify the cost: smelting is capital-intensive, acid use is high, and recovery from dilute material remains inefficient. 

With LithX, recovery becomes technically and economically feasible, Our novel lixiviant enables platinum group metals extraction under ambient conditions – no furnaces, no acid-intensive systems, and no major infrastructure upgrades. LithX is designed to help operators recover more metal from materials they’re already mining, milling, or storing.

Expand Recovery Without
Expanding Infrastructure.

Platinum group metal recovery doesn’t have to mean building out refining infrastructure or walking away from lower-grade resources. LithX offers an alternative: a flexible, more profitable solution that enables incremental metal recovery from sulfide ores, tailings, and byproduct streams, without requiring major CAPEX.

LEACHING

Recover platinum group metals from primary sulfide ores using low-impact chemistry – no smelting required.

Tailings Recovery

Extract valuable platinum group metals from legacy tailings once considered uneconomic.

Byproduct Streams

Unlock platinum group metals from nickel and copper byproduct streams without major CAPEX.

Let’s Reevaluate What’s Recoverable.

If you're holding tailings or byproduct material with trace platinum group metals that haven’t justified recovery under current methods, we can help you explore the potential. Our team works with operators to assess fit, run tests, and deploy LithX where it creates value.

Unlock more metal. Improve profitability.
