Advanced Urban Mining

Unlocking the Hidden Value in E-Waste

Obsolete printed circuit boards, microchips, and processors contain concentrations of precious metals far richer than traditional mining ores. Explore the science of electronic urban mining.

Metals Hidden in Your Hardware

Printed circuit boards (PCBs), RAM sticks, and CPUs are rich in conductive and rare-earth materials.

Gold (Au)

Highly conductive and resistant to corrosion, gold is extensively used in circuit board edge connectors, CPU pins, and memory chips. One ton of circuit boards can contain 40 to 800 times more gold than a ton of mined gold ore.

Silver (Ag)

Offering the highest electrical conductivity of any metal, silver is widely used in switches, relays, and solders. Bulk recovery of silver drastically reduces the environmental destruction caused by open-pit mining.

Palladium (Pd)

A rare, high-value metal utilized in multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) and hard drive platters. Recovering palladium from server arrays and enterprise electronics is highly lucrative and environmentally essential.

Industrial Processing

The Dismantling & Segregation Cycle

Precision Dismantling

Hardware is manually and mechanically dismantled to separate complex electronic assemblies into their base physical components safely and efficiently.

Material Segregation

Extracted components are rigorously sorted into categories: ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, plastics, and highly concentrated precious-metal-bearing boards.

Secure Forwarding

The isolated, high-yield material fractions are safely packaged and forwarded to specialized global refining partners for final chemical extraction.
