What Is Electronic Waste?

E-waste refers to discarded devices with circuits, electronics, or batteries, such as obsolete AI chips, scrap semiconductors, and old phones.

E-waste is growing rapidly, The unlimited growth is increasing by 2.6 million tonnes annually and expected to reach 82 million tonnes by 2030*.

It is the largest man-made non-biodegradable waste stream in history.

Global E-waste is expected to reach massive scale

Companies like Microsoft, Meta, and Oracle are investing billions in AI data centers, driving demand for sustainable hardware and recycled materials

Validated Process at Our North Carolina Demonstration Facility

E-waste from Qualified Recyclers

Secure high grade raw materials through certified vendor contracts to ensure consistent quality and quantities.

Sort and stockpile components, and shred bare printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Transform E-Waste at Pre-Concentrator Plant

Factory-proven, proprietary process separates and recovers commodity metals from barren plastics.

Key product – valuable upgraded Metallic-Sands-Concentrate (MSC) stream.

Almost all of the water used in the pre-concentration process is recovered, recycled, and re-used, and we have not discharged anywater to date.

Shipping of Concentrates

Barren plastics are transported to downstream third-party recyclers and certified waste handlers.

Concentrate is sold as a partially refined product or transported to our Aqueous Purification Plant.

Aqueous Purification Plant

Extraction & processing to isolate and enrich metals for immediate sale directly into US and International supply chains.

Results Drive Growth

Results are fully consistent with overall performance objectives:

Each tonne processed is envisioned to yield 4 – 6 Gold-Equivalent-Ounces (GEOs) of metal product.

Growth Strategy

  • Ramp-up current production to 1 tonne/day.
  • Expand current active plant to 24 tonnes/day.
  • Add 1 concentrator plant per year over years 2 to 5.

Est. Annual Yield*

  • Year-1: 40,000 GEOs
  • Year-5: 200,000 GEOs

Approximated Daily Yield Per Concentrator Plant

90 GEO GOLD/DAY*

* Based on internal testing, at 332 operating days per year, at full commercial processing rate of 8,000 tonnes / year.
