Precious Metal Mining

Advanced Additive Technology for High-Efficiency Mineral Extraction

ITI Technologies has developed a patented aqueous additive chemistry capable of dramatically improving precious metal recovery from ore. Built upon ITI’s solubility-enhancing platform, this technology may provide an alternative approach to traditional extraction methods used throughout the mining industry.

In precious metal mining, extraction efficiency directly impacts profitability and environmental footprint. Traditional cyanide-based techniques can require several days of processing while leaving significant amounts of recoverable material behind. ITI’s chemistry has demonstrated the potential to substantially increase recovery rates while dramatically reducing processing time.

Accelerated Precious Metal Recovery

ITI’s mineral extraction chemistry has demonstrated the ability to recover up to 96% of precious metals from ore under testing conditions. By enhancing the solubility and release of targeted materials, the process may significantly improve extraction efficiency compared to conventional methods.

Reduced Processing Time

Traditional cyanide extraction methods can require multiple days of processing within large slurry ponds. ITI’s technology has shown the potential to perform extraction in contained vat systems in approximately three hours, helping mining operators improve throughput and operational efficiency.

Why ITI for Precious Metal Mining

ITI’s patented chemistry was designed to improve the interaction between aqueous solutions and mineral-containing materials. For precious metal applications, this may create opportunities to increase recovery rates, reduce processing times, and support more efficient extraction operations.
