Unparalleled history of innovation and experience

Sherritt’s history of innovation is a key differentiator and enabler of Sherritt’s business development efforts primarily focused on near-term partnerships and development opportunities to expand midstream processing capacity of critical minerals for the electric vehicle supply chain.

Sherritt leverages its 70 years of experience in evaluating, developing and commercializing process technologies for natural resource-based industries. As an incubator for industry solutions, our focus on hydrometallurgical recovery of precious and non ferrous metals has resulted in more than 40 mining operations worldwide utilizing our proprietary technology.

Advancing midstream processing capacity for critical minerals

Sherritt’s strategic focus is to expand its midstream processing capacity of critical minerals for the electric vehicle supply chain in North America. Its mixed hydroxide sulphate (MHP) Project provides a strategic opportunity to expand Sherritt’s current business into the production of nickel and cobalt sulphates, a key intermediary product required in the electric vehicle battery supply chain, where a current significant gap exists in North America.

Next-generation laterite processing

Sherritt continues to advance development of next-generation laterite processing technology with an aim to make its nickel laterite processing more economically viable and more sustainable. Additionally, Sherritt is exploring project opportunities for the generation of battery-grade nickel and cobalt products from lateritic ores. These advances are expected to improve the purity of nickel, reduce environmental impacts, extend the life of existing assets, increase the recovery of high-value metals and reduce operating costs and capital requirements.

Treatment of complex concentrates

Sherritt has developed a suite of processes for the treatment of complex copper and precious metals concentrates (or other high arsenic content feeds) that enable high recoveries of base and precious metals while providing a significant step change in the stabilization of arsenic bearing solid waste. One of these processes combines complex copper concentrate and laterite processing into a single facility that enables additional environmental and economic benefits and the production of nickel and cobalt intermediate by-products.

Full-cycle project and commercialization expertise

Sherritt’s innovation pipeline is an efficient vehicle for rapidly evaluating new ideas and its research teams are focused on providing innovative process development that have the potential to transform the metallurgical processing, mining and other industries. Sherritt has decades of experience in:

  • Process development and modelling
  • Metallurgical testing and pilot plant operation
  • Engineering and process design
  • Technical and analytical support
  • Commissioning and start-up
