REE Recovery from Slag
Industrimex is developing an advanced materials recovery project focused on extracting value from industrial metal-bearing residues generated during processing operations.
These materials contain significant concentrations of niobium, vanadium and associated critical minerals, which are currently underutilised within conventional processing routes. The approach focuses on unlocking this value through selective upgrading and downstream processing pathways.
The project is designed to:
- Recover multiple high-purity metals
- Capture critical mineral by-products (including strategic alloying elements)
- Reduce industrial waste and support circular economy outcomes
This initiative is being advanced in collaboration with industrial stakeholders and technical partners, with a focus on scalable deployment in established processing hubs. While funding and offtake activities are being finalised the company plans to complete front-end engineering and design in preparedness for FID
Filter Cake Upgrading
This project targets the upgrading of iron- and titanium-rich mineral residues generated during primary metallurgical operations.
These materials are typically stockpiled or disposed of, despite containing recoverable value. Industrimex is developing a beneficiation and upgrading pathway to convert these residues into usable industrial feedstocks.
Key objectives include:
- Increasing grade and consistency of material for primary use
- Producing saleable inputs for metals and construction markets
- Reducing waste volumes and associated handling costs
The process focuses on practical, scalable solutions that integrate with existing industrial infrastructure.
Specialty Reagent Manufacturing
Industrimex is advancing the feasibility development of a regional manufacturing capability for specialty flotation reagents used in mineral processing.
These reagents are critical to the recovery of base and precious metals, yet supply chains are often constrained by limited global producers and long lead times.
Our approach focuses on:
- Establishing secure, localised production capacity
- Delivering consistent, high-performance reagent quality
- Providing supply chain control for mining operators
This project supports the localisation of critical consumables and reduces dependency on imported supply. As feasibility work continues, the identification of local offtake or distribution partners represents a stage gate before progressing engineering and design requirements.
Bulk Flocculant Manufacturing
Industrimex is developing a synergy project for bulk industrial chemicals used in water treatment and processing applications.
This includes the manufacture of iron-based coagulants and flocculants widely used across mining, municipal, and industrial sectors.
The project is focused on:
- Reliable, large-scale production of essential treatment chemicals
- Utilising cost-effective raw material streams
- Supporting regional demand growth across infrastructure and industry
The model emphasises efficiency, consistency, and proximity to end users. The identification of local offtake or distribution partners represents a stage gate before progressing engineering and design requirements.
E-Waste Precious Metals Recovery
Industrimex is developing a modular processing solution for the recovery of valuable metals from electrical and electronic waste streams.
E-waste represents a rapidly growing source of copper, gold, silver, and other critical materials. The approach focuses on mechanical pre-processing combined with targeted chemical recovery and refining pathways to maximise value extraction.
The project aims to:
- Recover high-value metals from complex waste streams including PCB’s
- Reduce reliance on export and offshore refining
- Enable modular, scalable, local processing solutions
This initiative supports circular economy objectives while creating new domestic supply of critical materials. Industrimex continues to develop detailed techno-economic analysis in partnership with aggregators as a stage gate to bench testing and FID.
