You operate, hit quarterly targets, manage licensing, keep your dam compliant. Meanwhile, every ton your concentrator processes leaves 25% to 40% of the metal behind. Over 5, 10, 50 years, that's a mineralized asset sleeping inside your operational perimeter. Green Mining wakes it up — no pit expansion, no new environmental licensing, no competing for your primary feed.
You know this better than anyone. Conventional flotation is mature, well understood, and has plateaued on its learning curve. Incremental improvements — better reagents, finer control — brought gains of a few percentage points. The structural loss remains: 25% to 40% of the metal in tailings. It's the physical cost of the technology.
For decades, that loss was simply the cost of doing business. Today, three vectors changed the math: (i) residual grades in historical tailings are approaching the primary grades of active mines, (ii) ESG and regulatory pressure raised the cost of opening a new pit, (iii) a disruptive technology — ours — now unlocks industrial-scale recovery in assets that could previously only be discarded.
Green Mining is a mining company operating on your tailings asset — not a technology supplier. The operational risk capital is ours; the final partnership format is negotiated case by case.
Green Mining acquires the tailings asset, assumes operational and financial risk in full. You receive liquidation value and stop managing the liability. Ideal for operations in decommissioning or with strategic focus on other assets.
We share capital, risk, and outcome in a structure defined through joint diligence. You participate in the recovery upside, keeping your team and local governance aligned with the new operational flow. Ideal when the asset is strategic and you want exposure to recovered-metal pricing.
Green Mining operates on the tailings, you retain asset title and receive royalty on production or revenue. Lean structure that doesn't consume your capital and doesn't divert focus from primary operation. Ideal for assets on the margin of your production curve.
We contract the recovery operation; you retain title and production ownership. Suitable where vertical integration is strategic, or where local regulation requires direct titleholder control.
Zero CAPEX on your side at entry. Technical diligence paid by Green Mining. You decide the contractual architecture. The format adjusts to your thesis — not the other way around.
Green Mining operates in parallel, on tailings. Your primary flow, your concentrator, your operational team keep running exactly as they are. We don't compete for your run-of-mine.
Processed tailings leave the dam. Reduced physical volume, reduced hydraulic safety risk, reduced environmental liability. Measurable effect on the deferred closure liability profile.
Recovery from pre-existing liability is exactly what ICMM, IFC, and TCFD frameworks seek: action on legacy, not on a new front. Enters your annual report as positive action.
Submit basic asset characterization — location, type, estimated volume, historical commodity, available analytical data.
Within 5 business days, preliminary viability assessment and next-step proposal. Optional NDA at this stage, per your protocol.
Accompanied by your team. Characterization in Green Mining lab or validated partner. Per-metal recovery simulation.
Choice between the four formats (or hybrid). Joint diligence, legal structure, implementation timeline.
With conventional flotation, yes. With Green Mining's four-layer architecture — where nano liberation exposes metal the mechanical cell can't reach — the economically viable residual grade drops significantly. Assets written off as end-of-life come back to the math.
In most jurisdictions, recovery on an already-licensed asset operates under existing permits or light additional permits (not equivalent to new pit licensing). We assess jurisdiction by jurisdiction in diligence.
Previous attempts used recombination of conventional technology — improved mechanical cells, tuned reagents, enhanced control. Incremental on incremental. Green Mining operates on a different physical architecture, field-validated since 2012 in South American operation, audited by SGS.
From format signing to first ton of concentrate: typically far shorter than greenfield cycle, because modular 25 t/h plants are replicable and don't require large civil works. Exact timeline depends on the asset — presented at pilot stage.
No. Green Mining operates on tailings — the asset you've already processed and discarded. We don't compete for your run-of-mine, your concentrator, your operational team, or your sales contracts. We're a second production lane on an asset you already considered zero.
The form takes 8 minutes. Response in 5 business days. No cost, no commitment, NDA available at first contact.
