500% Increase — Plasma Pre-treatment Dramatically Increases Detectable Au/Ag/PGM Content in Refractory Ore — Technical Summary of Analytical Results
Abstract A set of post-treatment samples from a plasma-based pre-treatment process were analysed for gold, silver and platinum-group metals (PGMs). Standard laboratory digestion and atomic absorption analysis showed marked increases in detectable precious metals in plasma-treated material versus untreated fractions. Quality control results were within accepted limits. Findings indicate the plasma process can liberate precious…

The Universal Metal Factory: How UHTP™ Transforms Any Feedstock Into Pure Metals
The history of metallurgy is a history of specialisation. Copper smelting requires one set of furnaces, chemistry, and expertise. Lead smelting requires another. Rare earth refining requires yet another — and it’s so complex that China controls 70% of global capacity. Lithium extraction demands sulphuric acid and massive water consumption. Recycling electronics requires a different process…

Comprehensive Report on Amorphous Gold
Origins and Formation Amorphous gold is a distinctive form of gold mineralisation characterised by the presence of nanoscale gold particles that lack a well-defined crystalline structure. These particles exist in a disordered, non-crystalline, or colloidal state, often associated with amorphous silica gels or carbon-rich phases. Amorphous gold primarily forms in orogenic (lode) gold deposits and…

Invisible Gold and Platinum Group Elements in Sulphide Minerals: A Detailed Exploration of Their Occurrence and Impact on Gold Deposits
The mining industry is increasingly encountering challenges as the supply of easily accessible, high-grade gold deposits diminishes. Many of today’s economically viable deposits contain precious metals in forms that are difficult to detect and extract. Among these, “invisible” gold and platinum group elements (PGEs) are particularly problematic. These metals are not present as free particles…
