Draslovka's proprietary Glycine Leaching Technology is the most environmentally sustainable and cost-effective way to produce precious metals and critical minerals yet. It utilizes Glycine, a non-toxic amino acid often used as a food additive or nutritional supplement in humans and animals.
Glycine is a common amino acid, a non-toxic chemical that is fully bio-degradable. It is used as a food additive for both humans and animals and has sugar-like appearance. Due to its widespread use across many applications, it is readily available worldwide.
Glycine is unique in its ability to selectively leach certain base and precious metals. It is not chemically consumed so it is recoverable and recyclable – providing a major cost advantage.
GlyLeachTM significantly improves the economics of copper oxide production by replacing acid with a non-toxic, food-grade reagent, unlocking significant new production from previously unviable deposits.
• Economically process uneconomic high acid consuming copper oxides, including unviable carbonate hosted oxides
• Reduce or eliminate sulfuric acid consumption
• Concurrent leaching of precious and other metals (e.g. cobalt)
• Recyclable reagent
• Supported by AI optimization tool
• Proprietary and patented technology
GlyLeachTM for Nickel and Cobalt enables production from tailings, as well as lower cost, environmentally friendly production of higher purity metal from nickel and cobalt sulphide deposits
• Utilizes glycine, a non-toxic, fully bio-degradable and recyclable reagent
• Highly selective leaching chemistry
• High-grade product
• No smelting required
• Recyclable reagent
• Lower carbon emissions
• Proprietary and patented technology
GlyCatTM enables an average 25% reduction in processing cost and ESG benefits by replacing a majority of cyanide with a non-toxic, food-grade reagent
• Utilizes glycine, a non-toxic food additive that is fully bio-degradable and recyclable.
• Reduces cyanide consumption by certain ore types by 20-80%.
• Reduces or eliminates cyanide detoxification requirements
• Easily adapted to existing leaching circuits, essentially a drop-in additive.
• Supported by AI optimization tool
• Proprietary and patented technology
