Why Traditional Processing Needs a Rethink
Conventional mineral processing is outdated.
It relies on high heat, high pressure, and a narrow focus on single-commodity production — driving up costs, energy use, and waste.
The result?
Legacy methods generate massive greenhouse gas emissions, transport vast quantities of ore, only to discard up to 99.5% during downstream processing, and send potentially valuable materials to tailings instead of turning them into revenue.
A Smarter Chemical Approach to Resource Recovery
Legacy systems rely on low -cost, low-strength reagents, accentuated by heat and pressure.
These reagents are typically discarded into tailings dams along with most of the ore’s potential residual value — resulting in wasteful, emissions-heavy operations.
Fluoromet takes a radically different approach.
We use high-performance, highly reactive reagents — but instead of disposal, they are continuously recycled to the beginning of the process. This enables efficient extraction at low temperature, ambient pressure, and dramatically reduced operating costs.
Whole-Feed Recovery
Fluoromet doesn’t focus on just one commodity.
Our process treats the entire plant in-feed, unlocking valuable elements across the periodic table — including metals, metalloids, and non-metals — for maximum resource recovery.
This is Resource Maximisation
A clean, complete, and future-ready extraction philosophy. Fluoromet’s closed-loop system eliminates tailings dams, slashes environmental impact, and is universally scalable across hard rock and carbonaceous ore bodies.
