Extensive research over the past century, driven by significant space and energy materials science advances now readily enables industrial-scale salt handling competencies.

This opens up huge opportunities to harness the multiple benefits of molten salts for metal extraction. High recovery, fast-acting molten salts can be celebrated for their high ionic conductivity, high electrochemical stability, and low vapour pressures which affords them comparative stability at high temperatures, while also being non-toxic and non-aqueous. #Vinca stands alone as the only technology harnessing these features using a eutectics mixture to deliver sustainable mineral processing for both sulphides and oxides.
