AmmLeach® – Advanced Ammonia-Based Leaching
AmmLeach® is designed for oxide and transition ores, using ammonium based reagents instead of acid for selective metal extraction. Unlike traditional acid leaching, it reduces reagent costs, minimizes waste production, and operates at ambient temperature and pressure.
No special equipment required
Unlike other ammonia-based processes, AmmLeach® does not require high temperatures or pressure, eliminating the need for specialized materials or additional plant infrastructure.
Lower reagent consumption
Traditional acid leaching requires large quantities of sulfuric acid, increasing costs and environmental impact. AmmLeach® operates with significantly lower reagent needs, reducing overall expenses.
Minimal environmental impact
By avoiding acid leaching, AmmLeach® reduces water consumption, lowers CO₂ and toxic emissions, and minimizes metal losses—aligning with modern ESG goals.
HyperLeach® – High-Performance Sulfide Processing
HyperLeach® is optimized for base metal sulfides, providing an alternative to high-cost, high-emission smelting. Operating at ambient temperature and pressure, it efficiently leaches metals using a proprietary reagent system.
Selective extraction of valuable metals
HyperLeach® targets key base metals while avoiding excessive extraction of unwanted minerals, leading to higher purity outputs.
Eliminates smelting requirements
Traditional sulfide processing relies on high-temperature smelting, which is costly and carbon-intensive. HyperLeach® replaces smelting with a cleaner, more efficient hydrometallurgical process.
Low-energy, scalable process
Works under ambient conditions, meaning no additional energy-intensive steps are required. Can be used for both heap leaching and tank leaching, depending on site requirements.
NickeLeach™ – Optimized Nickel Recovery
NickeLeach™ is designed for nickel laterite ores, but is also applicable to nickel suplhide ores, offering a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to existing high-pressure acid leaching (HPAL) methods.
Reduces reliance on expensive reagents
By using a more selective reagent system, NickeLeach™ lowers reagent consumption, reducing long-term operating costs.
Higher nickel recovery rates
NickeLeach™ achieves superior nickel extraction compared to conventional acid-based methods, improving overall project economics.
Easily integrates into existing operations
Designed to be compatible with current nickel mining infrastructure, minimizing retrofitting costs and operational disruptions.
MoReLeach™ – Unlocking Molybdenum & Rhenium Potential
MoReLeach™ provides a high-yield, low-impact solution for extracting molybdenum and rhenium, two critical metals for high-tech industries, including aerospace and electronics.
Higher metal purity
Selective leaching ensures high-purity molybdenum and rhenium extraction, increasing product value for industrial applications.
Minimal waste production
Unlike traditional methods, MoReLeach™ produces very little solid or liquid waste, improving environmental sustainability.
Cost-effective processing
Reduces processing complexity and lowers operating expenses, making it a viable alternative for modern mining operations.
The next generation of metal extraction
Lower costs. Higher yields. A greener future. MetaLeach is changing how metals are extracted—cleaner, faster, and more profitable.
