Company Profile
An Australian public company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX), Intec Ltd is the owner of the Intec Process, a revolutionary technology for superior and sustainable metals production.
Developed over the last 15 years to its present state of commercial readiness, the ‘Intec Process’ is actually a set of patented hydrometallurgical processes that have been conclusively demonstrated to produce high purity base and precious metals from concentrates of sulphide ores. The Intec Process has substantial environmental and cost advantages over both the widely used conventional smelting and refining processes and other known hydrometallurgical processes.
While the Intec Process is applicable to a suite of base and precious metals, historically technical and commercial development work principally focussed on the application of the Intec Process to the production of copper and zinc metals from mineral feedstocks. More recently, the company has commercialised operations for the recovery of lead, zinc and other metals from industrial wastes and sludges.
The Intec Process and its related waste technologies and know-how representsa paradigm shift that could, over time, have a substantial impact on the structure and economics of the world base metals industries. For example, the Intec Copper Process can economically transform those copper sulphide deposits that are not viable with current technology and improve the economics of operating mines through reductions in offsite operating costs.
