The Metals Hub specializes in comprehensive services for the metals, mining, and extractive metallurgy sectors, including testing, processing, piloting, design, modeling, manufacturing, logistics, and commercial development.
We are a one-stop central hub supporting labs, miners, commodity traders, project owners, metals investors, engineers, and project developers with coordinated, innovative services for sustainable production of critical minerals, metals, and rare earth elements.
What services does The Metals Hub provide? We support end-to-end needs from R&D inception to commercialization, including hydrometallurgy pilots, IX, SX, non-destructive testing (NDT), failure analysis, QA/QC compliance, and prototype optimization to de-risk projects and ensure production efficiency.
Who benefits from The Metals Hub? Miners, commodity traders, project owners, investors, engineers, developers, and labs gain fast access to independent validation, de-risking feasibility studies, trade settlements, and tech pilots without silos or delays.
How fast are your turnaround times? Routine scoping tests, quick go or no go assessments, or bench assays deliver in 5-7 days; complex programs with logistics and multi-lab coordination aim for 2-3 weeks, emphasis on real-time turnaround via streamlined workflows. Generally speaking, bleeders with sense of urgency get priority, subject to…
Is The Metals Hub independent and accredited? Yes, it maintains full independence for unbiased results, partnering with ISO 17025-accredited labs and using validated ICP-OES, fire assay, and XRF XRD standards for compliance and integrity.
What about critical metals and rare earths? This is our bread & butter. We specialize in protocols to validate innovative extraction (hydrometallurgy, mass energy balance models, HREE separations), providing recovery metrics, impurity profiles, and data progression from pilot-scale to detailed engineering feasibility to support R&D through to commercialization.
