The smarter way to extract metals

Mining is changing. The old ways—wasteful, energy-intensive, and polluting—aren’t built for the future. MetaLeach is leading the shift with cutting-edge extraction technologies that make primary mined ores and waste/residues processable, cheaper, cleaner, and more scalable.

Our mission

Rethinking mining for a resource-dependant world

The demand for critical metals is growing, but the way we extract them needs to evolve. At MetaLeach™, we develop technology-driven solutions that allow mining companies to maximize process recovery efficiency, generate more inert residues, and align with modern ESG standards—all without sacrificing output.

Technology that works smarter

Traditional mining methods require massive amounts of energy, water, and infrastructure. Our technology changes that. By eliminating smelting and lowering reagent consumption, we reduce toxic emissions, cut both capital and operating costs, and simplify target metal recovery. Mining should be high-yield and low-impact, and that’s exactly what we make possible.

Mining needs a smarter way forward. We're making it happen.
