About Theia Metals

Theia has identified how to reduce the cost of mineral-selective components that can be incoporated into novel collectors and magnetic separation reagents. Our goal is to use mineral selectivity to decrease the cost and increase yields of mineral recovery. Traditional technologies for manufacture of the components in our next-gen collectors were, until recently, a commercially prohibitive cost-barrier.

About Theia's Collectors for Flotation

A typical collector developed by Theia should ideally demonstrate the following properties:
  1. Activity as Collector strong enough to improve recovery of target material (An improvement in yield as low as 2-5%, can provide an exceptional return on investment after deployment of our next-generation technologies).
  2. Very selective binding and flotation with target mineral (and very weak binding to everything else)
  3. Supports high flotation rate
  4. Good froth characteristics
  5. Not sensitive to variations in the selected ore, or water quality
  6. Meets environmental requirements (sustainable mining)
    • Manufactured with processes of minimal environmental footprint (Energy, CO2, H2O)
    • Quickly biodegradable
    • Not toxic to fish, invertebrates, plants and bacteria
  7. Meets safe handling requirements (skin, eyes, respiratory)
  8. Easy to ship, store and handle. Stable upon storage
  9. Cost-effective vs other collectors

About Theia's Magnetic Separation Reagents

  1. Activity in magnetic separation strong enough to improve recovery of target material (An improvement in yield as low as 2-5%, can provide an exceptional return on investment after deployment of our next-generation technologies).
  2. Very selective binding with target mineral (and very weak binding to everything else)
  3. Suitable for drop-in use with existing magnetic separation processes and equipment.
  4. Not sensitive to variations in the selected ore, or water quality
  5. Meets environmental requirements (sustainable mining)
    • Manufactured with processes of minimal environmental footprint (Energy, CO2, H2O)
    • Quickly biodegradable
    • Not toxic to fish, invertebrates, plants and bacteria
  6. Meets safe handling requirements (skin, eyes, respiratory)
  7. Easy to ship, store and handle. Stable upon storage
  8. Cost-effective vs other collectors
