GlyLeach™

Historically, the extraction of Cobalt and Nickel has been inefficient, resulting in vast quantities of tailings with unrecoverable metals. GlyLeach™, an innovative technology, now makes it feasible to reclaim most of the metals from these tailings, converting what was once considered waste rock into a valuable resource.

GlyLeach™ is a groundbreaking approach to metal leaching, capable of selectively extracting both base and precious metals, including those from deposits previously deemed unworkable. This process stands out as an eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to traditional acid leaching methods, offering more precise and cost-effective metal recovery. One of the significant advantages of GlyLeach™ is its simplified approach to leaching, which bypasses the need for smelting and the transportation of concentrate between facilities. Remarkably, Nickel sulphate can be produced directly on-site at the mine.

A key feature of GlyLeach™ is the use of glycine as a selective lixiviant, which is more effective than acid in targeting specific metals while avoiding the extraction of non-target metals like Magnesium or Iron. Additionally, glycine can be efficiently recovered and reused, further reducing the overall processing costs. This innovative solution not only enhances the recovery of valuable metals but also promotes sustainable mining practices.

GlyLeach™ for Copper

GlyLeach™ marks a significant advancement in copper oxide production by substituting traditional acid methods with a non-toxic, food-grade reagent. This innovative approach opens up new possibilities for exploiting deposits that were previously considered non-viable, thus expanding the potential for copper oxide extraction.

Key Benefits of GlyLeach™ in Copper Oxide Processing:

  • Enables the economical processing of copper oxides, particularly those with high acid consumption, such as carbonate-hosted oxides that were previously unfeasible.
  • Significantly reduces the reliance on sulfuric acid in the extraction process.
  • Facilitates the simultaneous leaching of not just copper but also precious metals and others like cobalt, offering a more comprehensive metal recovery solution.
  • Features a recyclable glycine reagent, aligning with sustainable and environmentally conscious practices.
  • Exclusively available as a proprietary and patented technology from Draslovka.

GlyLeach™ represents a transformative shift in the mining industry, particularly in copper oxide production, by providing a more sustainable, cost-effective, and efficient extraction method that maximizes resource utilization while minimizing environmental impact.

GlyLeach™ for Nickel and Cobalt

GlyLeach technology significantly enhances metal production, enabling not only the extraction of valuable metals from tailings but also the generation of higher purity metals from nickel and cobalt sulphide deposits. This process, notable for its lower cost and eco-friendly approach, can be adapted to specific mining contexts using either GlyLeach™ or GlyAmm™, depending on the nature of the ore, its grade, and the prevailing conditions.

Key Features of GlyLeach in Metal Production:

  • Utilizes glycine, a reagent that is non-toxic, fully biodegradable, and recyclable, ensuring an environmentally responsible extraction process.
  • Employs a highly selective leaching chemistry, targeting specific metals for extraction, thereby increasing efficiency and yield.
  • Produces high-grade metal products directly from the extraction process, enhancing the overall value.
  • Eliminates the need for smelting, simplifying the production process and reducing energy consumption.
  • Facilitates the production of high-purity materials directly at the mine site, reducing logistical complexities and costs.
  • Contributes to lower carbon emissions, aligning with global efforts to reduce environmental impact.
  • Offered exclusively as a proprietary and patented technology from Draslovka, ensuring its uniqueness and reliability.

GlyLeach represents a significant advancement in the mining industry, offering a sustainable, economical, and efficient solution for metal production, particularly in the context of nickel and cobalt sulphide deposits. This technology not only maximizes resource utilization but also aligns with contemporary environmental and sustainability standards.
