About

A one-stop central hub for critical minerals, metals and rare earths.

The Metals Hub specialises in comprehensive services for the metals, mining and extractive metallurgy sectors, including testing, processing, piloting, design, modelling, manufacturing, logistics and commercial development.

How an engagement runs

From sample input to result output, without the silos.

01

Scope

We define the decision context (R&D, QA/QC, due diligence, off-take) and select the process route and methods to match.

02

Route & test

One gateway to accredited labs worldwide handles logistics, custom method matching and scheduling. Routine work returns in 5–7 days.

03

Reconcile

Results are reconciled against mass and energy balances so every number is comparable, defensible and traceable.

04

Progress

Unified reporting, with optional interpretation notes and visualisations, converts results into a viable pathway to production.

Let's work together

We support end-to-end needs from R&D inception to commercialisation, including hydrometallurgy pilots, IX, SX, non-destructive testing (NDT), failure analysis, QA/QC compliance and prototype optimisation, to de-risk projects and ensure production efficiency.

Miners, commodity traders, project owners, investors, engineers, developers and labs benefit through fast access to independent validation, de-risking feasibility studies, trade settlements and technology pilots, without silos or delays.

Routine scoping tests, quick go / no-go assessments or bench assays deliver in 5–7 days. Complex programs with logistics and multi-lab coordination aim for 2–3 weeks.

We maintain full independence for unbiased results, partnering with ISO 17025-accredited labs and using validated analytical standards.

We specialise in protocols to validate innovative extraction (hydrometallurgy, mass and energy balance models, HREE separations), providing recovery metrics, impurity profiles and data progression from pilot scale to detailed engineering feasibility.
