Assets & Technologies

Ceibo is developing technology designed to improve copper recovery from primary sulphide ores, including chalcopyrite, using leaching infrastructure rather than conventional concentrate production and smelting.

The technology addresses one of the copper industry’s significant technical challenges: economically recovering copper from sulphide material through leaching.

Demonstration-Scale Copper Production

In 2025, Ceibo and Chilean producer Compañía Minera San Gerónimo commissioned an on-site demonstration facility using Ceibo’s proprietary sulphide-leaching technology.

The operation successfully produced its first copper cathodes and has provided an important demonstration of the technology under operating mine conditions.

Ceibo has also been working with major mining companies on additional technology applications and scale-up opportunities.

CoTec has representation on Ceibo's Technical Advisory Board and continues to evaluate potential opportunities where Ceibo technology could be deployed alongside CoTec.
