Technology Licensing
Lava Blue licenses its proprietary processing technology to production partners. Licensees validate their feedstock at PRiSM, before moving to design of full-scale production facilities using their preferred feedstock and Lava Blue's IP.
Designed for scale
Current Licensees
PRiSM is producing high-purity samples for market testing and detailed engineering for full-scale facilities. The goal: shorten the path from feedstock validation to commercial deployment.

Licensees
Lava Blue is in active discussions with and conducting test work for potential licensees. Combined target: 25,000 tonnes per annum of licensed HPA production across the partner network in the early 2030s.
Innovation Pipeline
Lava Blue's technology platform is expanding in two directions: new materials and smarter processing. We're developing recovery pathways for critical metals like cobalt, bismuth, and rare earths from unconventional sources. At the same time, we're integrating machine learning into process modelling, quality control, and operational workflows.
New materials
Characterising mineral feedstocks to determine processing viability and optimal extraction pathways.
Smarter processing
Integrating machine learning into process modelling, quality control, and operational workflows.
