PREPARATION STAGE

Unlocking Full Value—Responsibly and Efficiently

At EcoMetals, we believe the future of mineral processing lies in smart engineering, zero-waste principles, and local value maximization. Our novel Nitric Acid Leach (NAL) approach represents a fundamental shift in how laterite ore is processed—efficient, inclusive of all ore types, and aligned with ESG goals.

Blending All Ore Types, Extracting More, Wasting Less

Traditional processes discard large portions of the orebody, especially when differentiating between limonite, transition zones, and saprolite. In contrast, our NAL-based innovation treats these zones together, eliminating the need for selective mining or wasteful segregation.

This ability to process the entire ore profile, including lower-grade material, translates to:

Higher resource utilization
Greater economic efficiency
Minimal mining footprint

It’s a smarter, cleaner, and more inclusive model that turns what was once considered uneconomical into strategic, marketable resources.

Intelligent Drying — Preparing for Performance

Before chemical processing begins, our ore undergoes a precise drying stage—a deceptively simple step with powerful outcomes.

By removing moisture at the outset, we:

Reduce downstream energy demand
Minimize greenhouse gas emissions
Improve leach kinetics and recovery consistency

This pre-treatment stage sets the foundation for a low-carbon, cost-effective processing chain and reflects our commitment to optimizing every stage of the value stream.

Comminution — Precision Unlocking of Critical Metals

Next, we engage in advanced comminution—the controlled crushing and grinding of ore to a uniform fine particle size.

Why this matters:

It maximizes metal exposure, ensuring high leach efficiency
It supports uniform reaction conditions in the leaching circuit
It enhances overall recovery rates for nickel, cobalt, scandium, manganese, and rare earths

Every grain counts. And through precision processing, we make sure no value is left behind.

LEACHING

Unlocking Critical Metals with Smart, Sustainable Chemistry

At the core of EcoMetals’ novel process is a forward-looking leaching method designed to efficiently extract critical minerals from laterite ore, using a clean, chemistry-driven approach rooted in our own independent innovation.

This proprietary method builds on publicly understood nitric acid principles while integrating novel engineering configurations that reflect our commitment to ESG, operational safety, and local adaptability.

Whole-Ore Leaching, Tailored for Efficiency

Each tonne of laterite ore—whether limonite, transition, or saprolite - is treated using a calibrated dose of moderately concentrated nitric acid (HNO₃), based on ore composition and geochemical profile. Our method does not require prior ore segregation, enabling whole-ore leaching and ensuring full resource utilization.

The reaction takes place in thermally optimized tanks at controlled temperatures around 110°C to 130°C, just above the boiling point of our nitric acid mixture. The system utilizes the mildly exothermic reaction between nitric acid and laterite ore, reducing reliance on external energy and improving thermal efficiency—a key driver of low-carbon, low-OPEX processing.

Clean Chemistry, Strong ESG Profile

Leaching occurs under atmospheric pressure in sealed, enclosed reactors designed to safely capture and redirect any off-gases into a closed-loop acid recovery system. This allows for close to 90% nitric acid regeneration and reuse, reducing reagent costs and minimizing environmental emissions.

Each leaching cycle takes approximately 4 hours, yielding a Pregnant Leach Solution (PLS) rich in energy-critical and strategic metals:

Nickel (Ni) – essential for EV cathodes, defense, and aerospace
Cobalt (Co) – improves battery stability and longevity
Iron (Fe) – widely used in LFP batteries and green steel
Magnesium (Mg) & Aluminum (Al) – lightweight structural metals
Chromium (Cr) – for corrosion-resistant and high-temp alloys
Scandium (Sc) – high-value metal used in aerospace and solid oxide fuel cells

Minimal Residue, Maximum Recovery

Post-leaching, less than 10–15% of the original ore remains as inert solid residue. This outcome represents a near-zero waste pathway, eliminating the need for tailings dams and minimizing long-term environmental liability.

Why This Matters to Investors

EcoMetals’ leaching technology is not derived from any third-party proprietary IP. Instead, it is the product of in-house metallurgical leadership, field-tested configurations, and transparent process development. Our design is optimized for tropical deployment, scalable across sites, and built to comply with Philippine regulatory frameworks.

By maximizing recovery, minimizing waste, and recycling nearly all process inputs, we create a path to:

High operating margins
Strong ESG credentials
Investment-grade scalability

This is where clean chemistry meets national industrial policy, and where responsible investment meets global impact.

LIQUID–SOLID SEPARATION

Optimizing Recovery, Redefining Waste

At EcoMetals, our approach to liquid–solid separation is central to maximizing resource efficiency, reducing environmental risk, and delivering long-term ESG value. This critical post-leaching stage ensures that nearly all extracted metals are recovered, while the remaining solids are repurposed for ecological restoration.

A Two-Stage Separation Approach – Designed for High-Efficiency Operations

Our independently developed system is tailored for processing low- to mid-concentration nitric acid leachates under tropical and modular plant conditions. It combines proven engineering with proprietary adaptations suited to the unique characteristics of Philippine laterite ore.

Stage 1: Multi-Stage Washing and Clarification

We utilize a staged washing method—designed to progressively separate metal-rich solution (Pregnant Leach Solution or PLS) from the remaining ore solids. Clean process water is applied counterflow to the solid residue stream, enhancing metal recovery while reducing solution losses.

Stage 2: Advanced Pressure Filtration

Following liquid clarification, residual slurry is subjected to low-pressure filtration, optimizing moisture removal without relying on energy-intensive drying systems. This step further recovers residual nitric acid for reuse and produces a manageable, dry filter cake.

Responsible Residue Handling — From Neutralization to Regeneration

Rather than treating the leach residue as waste, we apply a neutralization and rehabilitation strategy grounded in circular economy principles.

Neutralization with Naturally Sourced Magnesium Oxide (MgO)

To stabilize the solid residue, we introduce magnesium oxide, a mineral additive that safely neutralizes residual acidity and raises the pH of the material to environmentally acceptable levels. This ensures safe handling and reusability in post-mining land use.

Ecological Reintegration and Soil Benefits

The neutralized material, containing trace amounts of magnesium nitrate, offers a beneficial nutrient effect when returned to the mine site. As a mild fertilizer, it supports soil regeneration, reforestation, and biodiversity—laying the groundwork for meaningful land restoration.

Why This Matters to Stakeholders and Investors

This integrated separation and residue management strategy reflects our commitment to sustainability, regulatory compliance, and economic resilience:

✅ Minimal Waste, No Tailings Dam
Our approach avoids traditional tailings infrastructure, mitigating long-term liabilities and reducing permitting barriers.

✅ High Acid Recovery
By recovering up to 90–95% of nitric acid through a controlled system, we minimize reagent costs and reduce our carbon and chemical footprints.

✅ Restorative Mining Model
Our neutralized residue supports environmental restoration, helping us meet and exceed Philippine DENR guidelines while strengthening community partnerships.

✅ Circular, Modular Design
Every output—including treated solids—serves a role in the system, reinforcing a closed-loop, circular economy aligned with the UN SDGs and EU Green Deal objectives.

A Clear Differentiator

While EcoMetals previously evaluated external nitric acid leach systems during early-stage research, our current model is a standalone development, built in-house with unique features designed for open-loop, modular scalability, low-pressure operations, and ESG-first deployment in the Philippine context.

We welcome dialogue, collaboration, and co-validation with public institutions and international partners who share our commitment to building the future of clean industry responsibly.

Iron Recovery & Circular Value Creation

Transforming Iron Residue into Usable Mineral Products

As part of EcoMetals' evolving metallurgical strategy, we are designing an independent process pathway that maximizes material recovery from laterite ore. In this phase, the leachate—known as the Pregnant Leach Solution (PLS)—undergoes a carefully controlled thermal concentration step.

At elevated temperatures (~120°C), water and a portion of free acid are vaporized, and a majority of these vapors are captured and reintroduced into the process, contributing to Efficient Acid Recovery. This step plays a key role in minimizing chemical losses and lowering operational costs, while supporting strong environmental performance.

As the solution gradually concentrates, controlled thermal treatment (~140°C and above) enables the conversion of ferric iron into hematite (Fe₂O₃), a stable mineral oxide.

Rather than treating this as waste, EcoMetals’ process is designed to recover iron oxides as potential co-products, with applications in:

Cement and green construction materials
Industrial pigments and ceramics
Supplemental iron feedstock for steelmaking

This step forms part of EcoMetals' resource optimization strategy, contributing to our vision of a low-waste, multi-output processing platform anchored in Philippine-developed innovation and independent metallurgical leadership.

ALUMINUM PRECIPITATION

Maximizing Resource Efficiency While Protecting Core Metal Yields

EcoMetals is advancing the development of a novel aluminum removal and scandium capture strategy as part of its Philippine-born metallurgical innovation. This method is designed to optimize nickel and cobalt recovery while converting what was once treated as waste into a high-value by-product stream, in alignment with circular economy principles.

Stage 1: Selective Aluminum Removal via pH-Controlled Precipitation

Our approach begins with the controlled elevation of pH using naturally abundant neutralizing agents, such as magnesium oxide (MgO), to selectively precipitate aluminum as a solid hydroxide. This carefully tuned step isolates aluminum without disrupting the stability of dissolved nickel and cobalt in solution.

By prioritizing process selectivity, EcoMetals protects its high-value metal yields while establishing the groundwork for critical by-product recovery.

Stage 2: Intelligent Recycling for Clean Stream Chemistry

Residual aluminum—typically in trace concentrations post-precipitation—is strategically redirected into a downstream neutralization circuit. This reintegration step helps ensure final leach solutions meet world-class impurity thresholds (targeting ~10–20 ppm aluminum), reduces reagent consumption, and enhances nickel and cobalt recovery consistency.

This phase reflects EcoMetals’ zero-waste ambition: every element is accounted for, and every stream is optimized for reuse.

Scandium-Enhanced Aluminum Hydroxide: A High-Potential Intermediate

The aluminum hydroxide recovered in the initial stage is more than a purification by-product—it becomes a strategic intermediate enriched with scandium and trace critical metals.

Once thickened and filtered, the resulting material typically contains:

20–24% aluminum
Trace Ni, Co, Mn, Fe, Mg
Scandium concentrations suitable for further refinement

This makes it an ideal feedstock for High Purity Alumina (HPA) or scandium recovery, two markets seeing rapid global demand due to their applications in:

Solid-state batteries & Li-ion separators
LED lighting and smartphone displays
Advanced ceramics and aerospace materials

Why It Matters: Key Highlights for Investors

✅ Protection of Core Metals: The process is specifically designed to safeguard nickel and cobalt, ensuring high recoveries of the project’s economic anchors.

✅ By-Product Value Creation: The scandium-rich hydroxide unlocks premium market opportunities, especially in the emerging HPA and REE segments.

✅ Low-Waste, ESG-Aligned Approach: Internal recycling and reduced reagent use reflect EcoMetals’ commitment to sustainable metallurgy.

✅ Strategic Scandium Upside: With scandium classified as a critical mineral for green tech, this process leverages an often-overlooked opportunity in laterite ore.

This aluminum precipitation methodology exemplifies EcoMetals’ innovation philosophy:
To maximize recovery, minimize environmental impact, and create diverse, future-proof value pathways—for our investors, for our partners, and for the communities where we operate.

Mixed Nickel/Cobalt Hydroxide Precipitation — Advancing Local Battery Material Production

As part of EcoMetals' novel process development, our team has engineered an independent precipitation approach that converts dissolved nickel and cobalt into high-value intermediate products suitable for further refining into battery-grade materials.

Following the prior removal of aluminum, our Pregnant Leach Solution (PLS) undergoes a two-stage, magnesium-based precipitation process, designed with operational flexibility and ESG performance in mind:

Stage 1: Primary Precipitation

We introduce magnesium oxide (MgO) to raise the pH of the solution under optimized conditions. This initiates the formation of mixed nickel and cobalt hydroxides, commonly referred to as Mixed Hydroxide Precipitate (MHP)—a recognized intermediate for downstream processing into battery-grade sulfates.

Nickel and cobalt are co-precipitated in solid form
Solids are then separated through filtration

Stage 2: Recovery & Polishing

To maximize metal recovery, the initial MHP is reconditioned to extract any remaining entrained metal values. This ensures both high efficiency and minimal loss.

Residual nickel and cobalt are recovered
Final product consistency is enhanced for off-take compatibility

Output Quality & Applications

Our independently optimized process targets an MHP composition of:

~40–45% Nickel
~1–3% Cobalt

This output is designed to align with global refining specifications for electric vehicle battery materials, including nickel and cobalt sulfates.

Circularity & Acid Recovery

The post-precipitation solution, now stripped of target metals, is internally recycled to support nitric acid reuse, contributing to a low-waste, resource-efficient system. This supports our ESG mandate for minimal discharge, high reagent efficiency, and reduced operating cost.

BARREN EVAPORATION — Water Recovery & Salt Concentration for Circular Efficiency

As part of EcoMetals’ independently developed process under its emerging novel patent, our barren evaporation circuit plays a critical role in maximizing resource circularity and minimizing liquid waste discharge.

In this stage, the spent leach solution—referred to as the barren liquor—undergoes controlled thermal concentration. The solution is gently heated to between 120°C and 210°C, depending on operational requirements, enabling:

Evaporation of process water, which is then condensed via heat exchangers and reused internally as clean process water
Concentration of nitrates, particularly magnesium nitrate hydrates (e.g., Mg(NO₃)₂·2–3H₂O), forming a hydrated molten salt mixture suitable for downstream handling

This resulting molten salt mixture remains in a pumpable phase and can be directed to the next phase of the process for further treatment or selective recovery.

Unlike conventional approaches, EcoMetals’ system is modular, low-pressure, and adaptable, developed using open-domain principles and grounded in public research, local ore test work, and in-house metallurgical leadership. It aligns with our IP strategy of responsible, transparent, and ESG-forward innovation tailored to the Philippine climate and ore profile.

Thermal Decomposition — Advancing Localized Acid Regeneration with Circular Design

As part of EcoMetals’ ongoing novel process development, we are optimizing an independent approach to acid regeneration through a controlled thermal treatment stage. This step is designed to extract further value from the post-leach (barren) solution, while enabling partial recovery of reagents and saleable byproducts in alignment with circular economy principles.

In this stage, the concentrated barren liquor—rich in nitrates and residual metals—is subjected to progressive heating. As the solution is thermally elevated from approximately 200°C to over 500°C, the remaining moisture is driven off, and controlled decomposition reactions convert the solution into:

Magnesium Oxide (MgO) – a solid, high-purity material
Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) – which are captured for reuse
Oxygen and water vapor – safely managed in the emissions stream

This solid MgO serves dual purposes: it can be reused internally as a neutralizing agent, reducing dependence on externally sourced lime or limestone, and when in surplus, it may be sold commercially—creating an additional revenue stream.

A Philippine-Born Innovation Under Development

While the process draws upon well-understood thermal decomposition and acid recovery principles, EcoMetals’ configuration is being uniquely designed to suit:

Local ore compositions (high magnesium-bearing laterites)
Tropical operating conditions (low-pressure, modular setup)
Environmental and economic constraints of developing nations

Our focus is on building a fit-for-purpose, modular, and scalable system that enables efficient reagent recycling, lower waste outputs, and resource valorization—without reliance on proprietary inputs from any third-party entity.

AI + IoT: A Digital Leap for Responsible Mineral Processing

At EcoMetals, we are embedding Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) into our novel process framework—not as an add-on, but as a foundational layer in how we design, operate, and scale.

This initiative is entirely independent of legacy hydrometallurgical technologies and is being developed in parallel with our Philippine-born patent for low-pressure nitric acid leaching. Our goal is to build a digitally intelligent process plant—one that’s transparent, adaptive, and aligned with the highest standards of ESG and resource efficiency.

What Makes the EcoMetals AI + IoT Layer Unique?

Investors and offtakers demanding traceability and ESG verification

With AI + IoT development integrated from day one, EcoMetals is redefining what mineral processing looks like in the Global South—data-driven, accountable, and built for scale.

Nitric Acid Regeneration — Closing the Loop Responsibly

As part of EcoMetals’ ongoing development of a Philippine-born, patentable process, we are independently advancing a modular nitric acid recovery system designed for tropical environments and high-magnesium laterite ores.

Following the thermal decomposition stage, the resulting gas stream—comprising oxygen (O₂), nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), and water vapor (H₂O)—is cooled in a controlled chamber to condense moisture. The resulting cooled gas is passed through a multi-stage acid recovery tower, where the NOₓ and O₂ react with water to regenerate nitric acid.

This approach allows us to:

Produce high-purity nitric acid in the range of 55–60% HNO₃,
Recycle over 99% of the acid used in the leaching stage, and
Limit fresh acid makeup to just 5%, or approximately 30–80 kg per tonne of ore, depending on ore chemistry.

Tailored to Philippine Conditions

Our design emphasizes:

Energy-efficient gas handling suited for off-grid or low-pressure systems
Simplified reagent input requirements, improving cost predictability
Adaptability to ores with high acid consumption rates, expanding feedstock flexibility

By reusing most of the nitric acid on-site, EcoMetals’ system not only reduces chemical imports and transport costs—it also supports our mission of low-emission, zero-liquid-discharge operations and maximum circularity.

Developed Independently, Built for Impact

This acid regeneration process is grounded in public-domain chemical engineering principles and is being refined by our in-house metallurgical and environmental engineering team. While we acknowledge the progress made by other groups in acid recycling, EcoMetals' configuration is entirely distinct, both in technical pathway and practical application.

Our goal is not to replicate—but to reimagine—what clean, inclusive, and scalable nickel processing can look like in Southeast Asia.

Selective Extraction of Strategic Metals — Guided by Ore Intelligence and Process Innovation

As part of EcoMetals’ independently developed metallurgical pathway, our novel leaching configuration is achieving high-efficiency extraction of key critical minerals from Philippine laterite ore—while maintaining a flexible, adaptive system guided by real-time ore profiling.

For nickel and cobalt, our early-stage testing and modeling demonstrate target extraction rates of approximately 90–95%, subject to ore type and process parameters.
Recovery rates for iron, magnesium, aluminum, and scandium vary depending on mineralogy and operational settings, and are being fine-tuned through in-country metallurgical testing and process simulation tools integrated into our IP roadmap.

Our modular design enables selective leaching behavior, allowing us to adjust conditions based on the ore’s chemical composition. This makes the process versatile and scalable, supporting a broader range of laterite profiles, particularly those with high-Mg, high-Fe, or scandium-bearing zones.
