Highlights:
- Stage-1 capacity target: ~20 tonnes/day of inbound PCB feedstock, 8,000 tonnes per annum (TPA).
- Stage-2 capacity doubles Stage-1 to 16,000 TPA of PCBs
- "The Company is aiming to source feedstock with a gold equivalent grade of ~ 200 g/t"
- Note:
- At USD$5000 per ounce for gold, 200g/t = USD$166/g x 200t = USD$33,200 per tonne.
- $33,200 x 8000 TPA = USD$265.6 million per year.
- At an estimated 80%+ recovery rate = ~USD$212.5 million gold recovery per year.
- "The Company is also evaluating downstream brine processing and refining pathways to improve metal recovery and payability, with potential for separate parallel saleable products extracted at different points of the flowsheet."
- "Metallium is evaluating the addition of a dedicated specialty metals recovery line ... [targeting] semiconductor and technology metals including gallium, germanium and other critical metals ..."
- "Interim key milestone: demonstration of three (3) FJH (Flash Joule Heating) reactors operating in parallel, by June."
