EcoTech Minerals Pty Ltd has very successfully developed break-through technologies for the extraction of precious and base metals from refractory and non-refractory mineral resources. In addition to typical metal extractions exceeding 95%, toxic metals such as arsenic are rendered environmentally benign and can be removed from site in a stable disposable form.

Demonstration of the EcoTechnologies has been proved at both a bench and pilot plant scale and the Company is now planning a commercial full scale demonstration plant at an Australian mine site.

Of significant importance is that in addition to handling the toxic metals, the final products including gold, silver, lead, zinc and copper are produced in saleable form on site and may not need any further off-site smelting and refining.
