What drives Orivium?

A regenerative mining revolution

Orivium unlocks stranded critical minerals and metals on site, and mitigates toxic tailings waste.

0 %

(150 million tonnes) of US Copper Reserves are stranded—we make recovery viable

~ 0 x

more gold is found in a tonne of smartphones than a tonne of mined ore — we make urban mining possible

0 %

of global Rare Earth Elements refining is concentrated in a single country (China)—we support national security around critical mineral risk

0 %

of EU rare earth imports in 2024 came from China, Malaysia, and Russia — we establish a sovereign circular recovery model

What we solve

Reduced logistics, clean soil and pure metals means less greenhouse gases, low environmental impact and highly sustainable and profitable operations.

We solve the urgent challenge of e-waste, too. The world is on track to reach 82 million tonnes of e-waste by 2030, and just 1% of rare earth materials comes from this waste.

What we solve

Orivium’s breakthrough metals recovery platform transforms how the world sources critical resources – unlocking hidden value, extending mine life, and turning stranded ore, mine waste, and e-waste into profitable, sustainable supply streams. By reclaiming metals from overlooked sources, we reduce the need for new extraction, cut environmental impact, and deliver high-return opportunities for the circular economy.

How it works

Unlike conventional methods that rely on heat, toxic solvents or froth flotation, Orivium uses a breakthrough regenerative Super Oxidiser process to recover a range of metals quickly from source material at ambient temperatures.

Our breakthrough process delivers:

Ambient temperature operation with no high-energy requirements

Complete reagent regeneration, mitigating toxic tailings waste

Multi-metal recovery from complex feedstocks including e-waste

Recovery of previously untapped metals from stranded critical minerals

Our modular approach supports the circular economy, reduces reliance on offshore supply chains, and significantly lowers the environmental burden of mining and manufacturing new components.

Key advantages

Anyone who works with Orivium benefits from:

Clean, green, safe

Our ambient-temperature regenerative process recovers metals fast, pure and sustainably in a closed-loop system that reduces environmental impact.

Modularity

Our technology integrates seamlessly with existing systems to enhance efficiency. This allows ROI on existing sunk capital and fast implementation.

Superior yields

Whether recovering iridium, gold, copper, nickel, or rare earth minerals, Orivium maximises yield across all available metals, in minimal time.

Environmental clean-up

Orivium’s proprietary Super Oxidiser also delivers powerful environmental remediation benefits

Cyanide destruction

Eliminates cyanide, one of the most toxic compounds commonly found in tailings from the gold recovery process.

Arsenic removal & recovery

Leaches arsenic into solution, removing it from the environment and enabling recovery for sale. Arsenic is often a co-mingled element in mining.

Organic contaminant breakdown

Breaks down harmful organic pollutants and persistent fire retardant chemicals into harmless compounds, preventing long-term soil and water contamination.

Our catalytic process also generates hydrogen gas as a valuable byproduct and therefore, further reducing on-site energy needs and overall carbon footprint. Alternatively, this energy can be sold as an added revenue stream.

What is regenerative mining?

Unlike conventional mining which focuses on extraction and exhaustion, regenerative mining offers a model based on restoration, reuse, and resilience.

 

Regenerative mining uses non-toxic reagents instead of acids and cyanides, operates at ambient temperatures with no combustion or roasting, delivers higher yields from complex and low-grade feedstocks, and generates green hydrogen as a co-product. It supports closed-loop circularity, reducing dependence on imports and virgin materials while turning waste into wealth.
