Built to Solve the Ore Other Processors Give Up On
Plasma Technology was established to fill a significant void in the mining industry: extensive amounts of ore contain recoverable gold, silver, and other precious metals from platinum group metals (PGM), yet remain unprocessed due to their complexity, refractory nature, or low-grade status, which renders them unsuitable for conventional methods like smelting, cyanidation, or flotation economically.
For over 6 years, we've developed and refined an advanced plasma-based extraction process to unlock these ores — building what has become the largest processing ecosystem in the world for PGM-bearing minerals, offered through toll processing on a revenue-share basis.
Zero-Advance Revenue-Sharing Toll Processing
We provide the world's largest ecosystem for PGM toll processing, leveraging advanced plasma technology for effective precious metals recovery from platinum group metals ore. Our partnerships with mines operate on a revenue share ore processing model, ensuring no advance payment is required.
High-Quality Metal Refining
Our refining meets international standards, delivering high-purity output suited for a wide range of industrial applications. Every stage — from plasma processing to final recovery — is built to maximize value for our clients on a revenue-share basis.
What Is Plasma Technology?
Plasma is often called the fourth state of matter — alongside solid, liquid, and gas. When a gas is subjected to extremely high energy (via an electric arc, for example), its atoms become ionized, creating a superheated, electrically conductive stream of charged particles. This plasma stream can reach temperatures far higher than conventional combustion or smelting, which is what makes it useful for breaking down materials that resist standard processing methods.
In metal extraction and refining, plasma technology is used to treat ore through intense, controlled thermal energy — a process known as plasma arc processing. Unlike conventional smelting, cyanidation, or flotation, which rely on chemical reactions or moderate heat, plasma arc processing can break down complex, refractory, or low-grade ore matrices at much higher temperatures and reaction speeds. This allows valuable metals — including gold, silver, and platinum group metals (PGMs) — to be liberated from ore that conventional processors consider uneconomical or technically infeasible to treat.
