Molten Oxide Electrolysis for high-value metals recovery
To expand our high-value metals business, we opened a subsidiary in Minas Gerais, Brazil where we will deploy our patented MOE platform technology to turn a liability — mining waste — into an asset. MOE uses electricity to selectively extract valuable metals from complex, low-concentration materials that are currently considered waste. This will enable miners to reduce the financial and environmental liabilities of slag by leveraging a natural by-product of metal production to create new revenue streams.

MOE provides the metals industry with an efficient, selective, and modular solution to produce a variety of metals and alloys from a wide range of feedstocks.
