THE NEXT GENERATION OF METAL RECOVERY

High-efficiency extraction of critical metals from a wide range of ores and legacy waste streams.

EXTRACT MORE METAL.

LithX™ is a next-generation lixiviant engineered to improve the recovery of copper, gold, and other high-value metals across a wide range of ores. The novel technology can be integrated into conventional flowsheets and unlock value from low-grade and complex resources, as well as legacy waste streams. Whether applied to chalcopyrite, refractory ores, or silicate-rich waste streams, LithX unlocks value without high heat, added acid, or major CAPEX. Producers benefit from seamless operational integration and a low-impact path to higher yields – and better margins.

A Drop-in solution TO UNLOCK metals where conventional methods fail.

Unlike conventional extraction approaches that rely on harsh acids, extreme heat, and high-pressure infrastructure, LithX uses a more selective, non-aggressive technology to recover valuable metals from challenging resources. The novel chemistry is engineered to extract what conventional methods cannot and seamlessly integrate into conventional flowsheets for more profitable and environmentally responsible metals recovery.

LithX

No high-heat processing required

Neutral pH

Non-hazardous, non-corrosive

Drop-in to existing flowsheets

High recovery, even on refractory and low-grade ores

Cleaner chemistry, easier downstream stabilization

Low environmental footprint

CONVENTIONAL EXTRACTION

High-temperature processing

Highly acidic

Often involves sulfuric acid, cyanide, or ammonia

May require high-pressure, high-heat equipment

Poor recovery on refractory and low-grade ores

Acidic, potentially toxic and harder to manage

High environmental footprint

DESIGNED FOR VERSATILITY.

From copper sulfides to high-volume tailings to polymetallic waste, LithX has a broad range of applications that can be tailored to the specific chemistry and process conditions of your site. Whether you're aiming to increase recovery, unlock stranded value, or reduce environmental impact, our team works directly with operators to improve performance and deliver real economic return.

CUSTOM APPLICATIONS.

Have a challenging ore body or underutilized waste stream that doesn’t fit traditional flowsheets? Our novel lixiviant chemistry, LithX, adapts to complex, low-grade, or unconventional materials. Whether it's mixed mineralogy, legacy stockpiles, or process residues, our team helps evaluate recovery potential and design tailored solutions. We work directly with miners to test and deploy site-specific solutions that unlock value. Connect with us to explore what's possible beyond the limits of traditional extraction.

MINIMIZE WASTE.
MAXIMIZE RESPONSIBILITY.

Traditional extraction methods have steep environmental tradeoffs – hazardous reagents, toxic tailings, and high energy consumption. LithX is formulated to reduce these impacts. The non-hazardous, non-corrosive technology enables safer, more efficient leaching and downstream tailings management.

BEYOND EXTRACTION:
TAILINGS STABILIZATION.

Our tailings stabilization chemistry utilizes a proprietary agent to sequester carbon dioxide within tailings piles, forming a durable carbonate matrix. This not only solidifies tailings into a stable, rock-like material for land use but also captures carbon, moving operations toward a carbon-negative future. It’s a transformative approach to tailings management that enhances safety, sustainability, and regulatory compliance.

SMARTER CHEMISTRY FOR A CHANGING INDUSTRY.

As supply chains tighten and economics grow more challenging, LithX offers mining operations a direct path to higher productivity – with fewer tradeoffs. Tell us about your resource and project needs, and we'll help determine if our proprietary LithX extraction technology is right fo you.

Unlock more metal. Improve profitability.
