Introducing the 3rd Force in Metallurgy

VINCA Technologies

Fresh Thinking & Ground Breaking Science

"Most promising mining technology start up”
(Unearthed Aspermont Future of Mining 2022)

At Vinca Technologies, we are pioneering a novel clean metal recovery technology which redefines how critical precious & base metals are extracted sustainably from their ores.

​

In recognition of its novelty, Vinca's advanced metallurgical ingenuities are patented, which also protects Vinca's commercial future. 

 

Vinca's ground-breaking non-toxic, non-aqueous molten salts metal recovery process offers a cleaner, safer, lower cost, more sustainable, lower impact alternative to acid leaching, pressure oxidation, roasting and smelting.

​

Vinca delivers a simple operating flow sheet with fast kinetics, high metal recoveries, low energy & water use, & dry inert stable solid tailings. All tailings can be recycled sustainably to enhance the circular economy too. 

Our Ambition:

 

Technology of Choice

​

Vinca aspires to be the "technology of choice" for all new precious polymetallic critical metals projects by 2030.  

What Drives Us:

 

Improving cleaner and more sustainable environmental outcomes for communities and ecologies across the globe lies at the heart of our drive to innovate; impact and engage.

​

We seek to overcome the shortcomings of hydrometallurgy (toxic chemicals; high water use; toxic wastes; complex flow sheets) and pyrometallurgy (high energy; toxic slag wastes).
