| Conventional processing of titanium bearing ores alternates between pyro and hydro-metallurgical treatment where titanium recovery costs are high, in both capital and energy costs. Neomet recovers hi purity titanium and any other value metals in energy efficient closed circuit. | The application of Neomet process to low grade nickel laterite ore is without a doubt the linchpin of an imminent Nickel extraction technology demand. Amongst mineral resource companies, most have failed implementing nickel laterite projects based upon incumbent technology that uses a high pressure acid leach (HPAL). | Neomet's gold recoveries are >95%,, at 99.99% purity. Low capital and operating costs, low energy consumptions. Neomet can treat Carbonaceous, Refractory low-grade free milling ores profitably. The simple design and seamless automation is suitable for plants of any scale. | There are currently no operating vanadium mines in North America. The three largest vanadium producers are China, South Africa and Russia. In North America, vanadium production comes from spent catalyst, residues from burning coal and heavy oil, byproduct of uranium mining, and imported pig iron slag. | Electric Arc Furnace Dust (EAFD) is a steel industry waste product comprising anywhere from 10-20% zinc as well as other valued metals. Neomet has developed a proprietary technology to extract marketable zinc. Both Zn and Fe are recovered at high purity greater than 99.9%. |
