Kunin

America was the world's leader in mining innovation

Mining Left America to China, It’s Staying Because Of Their Technological Advantage
‍
Ion-Exchange is how we extract critical minerals for refining

Opportunity & Challenge

Most critical minerals are produced as byproducts of other mines
‍
The US has the third most operating mines globally and has over $3 Trillion of value locked in waste and byproduct resources

Why is the United States vulnerable to critical mineral supply chains?

Metals such as scandium, gallium, germanium, vanadium, and uranium are recovered using ion-exchange
In 2024, China restricted the export of these technologies to western countries

Kunin's Extraction Technology Solves This Problem

Same ion-exchange material, packaged in a form-factor optimized for mass transport.

Kunin uses ligands with decades of in-field operating experience.

Kunin's modules are packaged in fully
pre-assembled skids.

Our Plan

1

Design

Engineer advanced separation solutions

The ion-exchange resin bead has not changed since invention by Robert Kunin and company at Rohm & Haas in the 1940s during the Manhattan project.

2

Optimize

Develop multiphysics digital twins and automate process controls

Deliver customized recovery systems tailored to specific mining assets’ operations and maximize performance using automated process controls.

3

Deploy

Install and commission modular treatment trains at mine sites

Once demonstrating pilot-scale performance and asset optimization, deliver prefab skidded systems for retrofitting at existing mining operations for by-product metal valorization.
