The copper mine of the future: Metal extraction from natural magmatic brines (CuBrine)

Project: Research

Project Details

Description

We are investigating whether it may be possible to extract copper (and other critical metals) directly from copper-rich fluids in the Earths crust, using extraction methods that offer considerably lower environmental impacts, and significantly reduced energy and water consumption, compared to conventional mining technologies.
