What We Do
Unlocking Metals from Complex Materials
Cycladex enables the recovery of gold, silver, rare earth and lithium from tailings, refractory ores, and copper-gold systems using a proven, non-cyanide process.
Oxide Ores
Conventional oxide ores can be processed rapidly using environmentally friendly reagents, eliminating the need for cyanide. This simplifies permitting compared to conventional methods, accelerating timelines and reducing overall production costs.
Refractory Ores
Refractory ores typically yield low recoveries with conventional methods. Cycladex significantly improves recovery rates without the need for costly pressure oxidation, unlocking value from deposits that were previously uneconomic.
Copper-Gold Systems
Copper can hinder gold recovery, leaving significant value unrecovered. Cycladex enables efficient separation and enhanced recovery from these complex ore systems.
Waste Tailings
Previously mined and stockpiled materials that still contain recoverable metals, ready for reprocessing. No new excavation is required, and permitting is typically minimal, enabling faster, lower-cost access to this resource.
Hard Rock Lithium Ores
A lower-cost, flexible process operating under milder conditions to produce lithium carbonate, hydroxide, and lithium metal—without the energy-intensive, waste-heavy requirements of conventional extraction.
Rare Earths
Rare earth elements are essential to clean energy, defense, and advanced manufacturing. Cycladex's process selectively recovers rare earth-bearing materials from complex ores and tailings, reducing reliance on conventional extraction methods.
