Nickel and cobalt producer Vale Base Metals has launched the pyrrhotite resource recovery innovation challenge to facilitate and enhance recovery of valuable metals and minerals contained in pyrrhotite.

Through the challenge, Vale Base Metals invites researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs to propose innovative technological solutions that can help to unlock value through circular mining while ensuring environmental responsibility.

"Open innovation is a key enabler that allows us to rapidly identify and trial innovative solutions that can help us unlock value from waste and we look forward to reviewing the innovative solutions this challenge inspires,” says Vale Base Metals director of research and innovation Adam McMillan.

Proposals will be evaluated until August, with innovation laureates announced in September. Selected solutions will be awarded a prize of C$25 000 from Vale Base Metals.

Participation in the challenge offers researchers, entrepreneurs and organizations a chance to showcase their expertise and make a substantial impact with their technology on the future of mining.
