Context
What each number means in practice.
Concentration up to 250×
Less concentrate volume for the same metal content. Less energy, less water, less mass transported, less post-process tailings. The operation streamlines the downstream flow — every mining company knows the cost that carries.
Recovery up to 99% in gold
Conventional flotation leaves 25% to 40% of the metal in tailings. Green Mining reduces this loss materially. The difference between 70% and 99% in gold is not cosmetic: in tailings, it's frequently the difference between economic viability and non-viability. Per-metal ceilings are physical — gold goes higher because the physics of gold in tailings allows it; silver stays lower because the physics of silver imposes it. See the full per-metal table.
Kinetics up to 57×
Much more metal processed per plant-hour. Significantly lower relative CAPEX. Substantially lower OPEX. A technology's kinetics dictate its real unit cost.
Cycle in hours, not days
In the gold case, total cycle drops from ~114 hours (conventional) to ~16 hours — a reduction of more than 85%. Short cycle means smaller footprint, lower working capital, lower sensitivity to operational variance.
Methodology
How these numbers were produced.
The public numbers have three sources. First, public technical literature on mineral flotation, used as the conventional and state-of-the-art comparative baseline. Second, the academic validation report from the University of British Columbia. Third, the independent SGS laboratory audit of the Green Mining system, with reference certificate GO2511449. The technical white paper, available via form, contains the detailed methodology and anonymized case studies.
