Successful Delivery of Complex Tailings Recovery Project for Key Client

Recently, the delivery of a comprehensive test report to the client marked the successful completion of our institute's mineral processing trial project for complex tailings recovery—a long-term collaboration with a leading enterprise in the industry based in Canada. Launched in August 2025 and spanning over three months, the project demanded high standards of technical expertise and process complexity from our institute's R&D capabilities. Its successful completion further solidifies the mutually trusting and win-win strategic partnership between both parties.

This project involved the comprehensive recovery of multiple products—including cesium, lithium, quartz, and feldspar—from a single raw material, representing a typical challenge in difficult-to-process, multi-metal recovery. Among these, cesium mineral processing is exceptionally rare in our institute's case history, with only two instances recorded in 2025, underscoring its uniqueness. Confronting these technical challenges, our institute assembled a dedicated technical team. With a strong sense of responsibility and professional dedication, the team conducted repeated explorations and optimizations, overcoming multiple separation technology hurdles to ultimately establish a stable and efficient process flow.

Tests yielded favorable separation indicators for multiple concentrate products including lithium, rubidium, and cesium, validating the technical feasibility of the solution. This achievement represents not only the success of a single project but also epitomizes the long-standing, close collaboration between our institute and Zhongkuang Resources Group. To date, the two parties have collaborated on six projects, with four currently progressing steadily and two successfully delivered, establishing a solid foundation of cooperation and mutual trust.

The successful completion of this project robustly supports our institute's broad technical scope of “processing over 70 types of ores,” highlighting our unique strengths and deep expertise in handling uncommon ores and complex, difficult-to-process minerals. It demonstrates to the market that we are capable of providing full-chain professional services—from experimental research to solution design—for both common ores and special, challenging resources. We will continue to prioritize client needs and drive innovation to help global partners maximize the value of mineral resources.
