Turning Waste into High-Value Metals With ReCLAIM™
At Ore2Metal, we specialize in designing advanced mineral processing and metallurgical flowsheets that unlock critical and precious metals from mining waste, tailings, and low-grade resources. Our proprietary ReCLAIM™ technology transforms what was once discarded into a valuable source of metals essential for today’s clean energy and high-tech industries.
ReCLAIM™: Clean Recovery, High Purity
ReCLAIM™ is a next-generation processing technology engineered to handle both sulfide and oxide materials, enabling efficient extraction of a wide range of metals, including:
- Copper (Cu)
- Nickel (Ni)
- Rare Earth Elements (REEs)
- Vanadium (V)
- Lithium (Li)
- Gallium (Ga)
- Germanium (Ge)
- Graphite (C)
- Gold (Au)
What sets ReCLAIM™ apart is its ability to concentrate metals by a factor of 10 or more, eliminating the need to process entire ore bodies. This significantly reduces capital and operating costs, minimizes waste generation, and produces non-acid-generating tailings, making it both economical and environmentally responsible.
After pre-concentration, our eco-friendly hydrometallurgical process utilizes selective solvent extraction to produce metal products with purities up to 99%, making them ready for high-tech refining applications.

A New Source of Critical Metals: Mining and Industrial Waste
Global economic growth is increasingly dependent on access to critical raw materials for renewable energy, digital infrastructure, defense, transportation, and medical technologies. However, many of these strategic metals—such as Cobalt, Gallium, Indium, Lithium, and Rare Earths—are not mined directly due to their low natural concentrations. Instead, they are co-produced or lost as minor by-products in the production of base metals like copper, zinc, lead, and aluminum.
The Hidden Value in Waste Streams
Much of the world’s supply of strategic metals is actually discarded in tailings, residues, or by-products from traditional metallurgical operations:
- Copper smelters and refineries lose Cobalt, Selenium, Tellurium, Silver, Gold, PGMs, and Iron.
- Zinc and lead industries discard Indium, Gallium, Germanium, Bismuth, and Silver.
- Aluminum production produces red mud rich in Gallium, Vanadium, and rare earths.
- Chromite processing loses Nickel and PGMs.
- Gold operations often discard heavy rare earths and other valuable elements.
At Ore2Metal, we identify and recover these hidden resources using tailored flowsheets and ReCLAIM™ technology to turn waste into commercial value.
