- The age of cheap abundant raw materials is over. Extracting metals and other materials from waste is more cost effective than extraction from virgin-mined materials.
Metal recovery of low grade ores and side-streams:
- Low grade ores, minerals and industrial side streams provide an opportunity to extend the raw material supply.
- The mining industry has reached a plateau for the efficient extraction of most metals and minerals.
Next steps:
- A key part to the success in over coming the challenges so that industry can move to the next level resides in the development of advanced technologies & processes that make it possible to “recover” the materials . Development of these technologies is an on-going process that as yet to reach its full potential and the focus of the EXPERT FORUM.
