Why sector‑agnostic matters
Copper, nickel, manganese, alumina, and other industrial metals are the structural steel of development—but they only deliver national value when power, water, logistics, and finance arrive on schedule. GEROS's sector‑agnostic playbook deliberately couples generation and microgrids (often gas‑hybrid from our energy team), water reuse and tailings stewardship (from our environmental group), and corridor sovereignty (pipelines/rail/ports engineered by our projects unit) so that mines, concentrators, and refineries are not stranded by single‑point failures. Shared utilities across metals and energy cut cost, emissions, and time.
Expert‑plus‑operator model
We assemble geometallurgists, hydrometallurgy and pyrometallurgy specialists, process control engineers, and reliability leaders with proven OEMs and EPC partners. That blend produces pragmatic flowsheets (e.g., copper sulfide flotation with column cells; SX‑EW for oxides; HPAL/POX for complex feeds; calcination and leach‑electrowinning where suited), coupled to DfMA modular plants that can scale in phases. We drive early pilot work (bench → demo) to derisk mineralogical variability and reagent regimes before full capex is committed.
Exploration to bankable studies
We run basin‑scale prospectivity (magnetics, gravity, EM; lineament/structure analysis) fused with surface geochem and artisanal footprints to prioritize blocks. Core drilling supplies domain models that link mineral textures to liberation and grind energy predictions. Our mine planning team sequences pushbacks/stopes to smooth grade and gangue swings, protecting mill stability and cash flow.
Process and water
Grinding/cycloning layouts are specified with energy and water efficiency at the core; thickening and paste systems reduce water extraction and tailings risk. Where chemistry warrants, we evaluate chloride‑leach, atmospheric leach, or microbial heap‑leach pathways with dynamic testing to tune kinetics and impurity handling (e.g., Mg, Cl, As). Online analyzers and advanced control (MPC) keep circuits at peak recovery with lower variance.
Power and reliability
Our energy unit delivers gas‑to‑power plus solar/wind hybrids, sized for mine life and expandability. Modular engines and battery storage support ramp rates and blackout recovery; predictive maintenance lowers forced outages. Because power is shared across assets (minerals, refineries, water plants), utilization rises and LCOE falls.
Smelting/refining and in‑country value add
Where feasible, we push beyond concentrate: cathode copper, alumina/aluminum routes, nickel/cobalt intermediates, and manganese alloys. Each case is screened for feed security, power balance, and environmental footprint. When smelting is not appropriate, we strengthen offtake positions with multi‑route logistics, index‑linked contracts, and optional tolling—maintaining flexibility while domestic capacity grows.
ESG and permitting
Tailings design follows global best practice (e.g., filtered/paste or engineered storage with instrumentation, downstream buttressing where applicable). Water stewardship targets high recycle ratios, with zero‑liquid‑discharge options in sensitive basins. We embed FPIC where relevant and implement local supplier development so national SMEs join the chain beyond construction.
Finance and market strategy
Streaming/royalty structures reduce upfront sovereign outlay; offtake diversification by geography lowers price and sanction risk. We use commodity hedging selectively to secure minimum cash flow through ramp‑up and fund corridor build‑out.
KPIs
Recovery by domain; kWh/t milled; water recycle %; tailings factor of safety and instrumentation compliance; OEE (availability/throughput/quality); TRIFR; local‑content share; and realized payables vs. benchmarks.
Outcome
A metals platform capable of generating stable fiscal revenue and seeding downstream industry—wire rod, alloy plants, fabrication—that compound employment and resilience.
