About Critical Minerals, Metals, and Materials for the Energy Transition (C3MET)<\/h2>\n \n

We are addressing global demand for critical minerals and contributing to a sustainable supply chain for future technological advancements.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n\n<\/mimas-block>\n\n\n\n

Dedicated to the sustainable and efficient recovery of critical minerals from both primary and secondary resources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Led by Professor Jacques Eksteen, our team of 29 academics deploy their research expertise across the areas of extraction and processing of various commodities such as lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, vanadium, PGMs, rare earth elements, graphite and precious metals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We aim to develop scalable, economically viable solutions for recovering critical minerals from complex ores and industrial wastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
