Critical Minerals at Missouri S&T

You combine crushed rock with water and cyanide. You double-check your notes, built on the wisdom of generations past. Eventually, you have liquid gold — and you have the power to turn it into solid gold whenever you want. ✨

🧙‍♂️ Are you a wizard?
No — even better. You’re a hydrometallurgist. 🏆

In this episode of Engineers Explain Everything, Dr. Michael Moats explains what hydrometallurgy is, how it differs from traditional furnace-based methods and why it is a crucial process for producing metals we rely on every day.

Had great discussions about how to advance critical minerals development in Missouri with a delegation from Missouri Department of Natural Resources today! The delegation toured our Experimental Mine during the visit. Always good to have wonderful partners to work with.

If you’ve ever yearned for the mines, Missouri S&T has you covered. ⛏️ #MinerPride
