From Technology to Revenue
1. Identify a Structural Opportunity
We focus on resource and recycling markets where conventional processing creates economic, technical or environmental constraints.
Priority opportunities include mine tailings, brownfield facilities, low-grade resources, industrial waste and end-of-life products.
2. Secure Differentiated Technology
CoTec invests in, licenses or partners around technologies capable of improving recovery, reducing processing intensity or enabling production from materials that may otherwise be uneconomic.
3. Match Technology with Assets and Feedstock
The greatest value is created when technology is paired with the right resource.
CoTec therefore seeks assets, feedstocks and partnerships where it believes its technologies can create a clear competitive advantage.
4. Engineer and De-Risk
Projects are advanced through metallurgical testing, feasibility work, engineering, permitting, customer qualification and commercial partnerships.
5. Finance at the Project Level
Where practical, CoTec seeks strategic, government and project-level financing to advance projects while managing dilution at the parent-company level.
6. Build and Scale
Successful projects can become stand-alone operating platforms with opportunities for modular expansion into additional assets and jurisdictions.
