Cobalt

Cobalt is an essential mineral for the stability of the lithium-ion battery, but one that comes with a challenging supply chain.

Wave’s key personnel have extensive hydrometallurgical experience and have been actively involved in the research and development of alternative processing technologies with potential application to the extraction of cobalt.

Our key activity in the cobalt market is the identification of potentially effective supply chain solutions, and applying our processing technology expertise to provide new economic supply solutions as alternatives.

Lithium is an essential mineral for the stability of the lithium-ion battery, but one that comes with a challenging supply chain.

Wave have been active in the lithium market since the mid-2000s. As a provider of engineering services to the Greenbushes mine for many years, Wave (its partners and key personnel) studied, engineered, delivered and commissioned into production spodumene concentration capacity.

Graphite is a traditional industrial mineral with a diverse range of traditional uses. Its application in the lithium-ion battery requires a new level of investment in not only flake supply but also downstream value-added products.

Wave’s activity in this sector is both in the development of traditional graphite projects and value-added downstream products for the battery sector.

Our traditional study, engineering and project delivery expertise is applied to this sector internationally.

The unique properties of rare earths elements are critical to modern and future technologies and help power economic growth.

This space has seen an exponential growth in demand for rare earths elements, which are critical in the fields of clean renewable energy such as wind turbines, electric/hybrid vehicles, health care, digital devices, consumer electronics, aerospace and defence.

Vanadium’s traditional market in steel making has recently experienced a structural change from both supply and demand – in addition, the advent of the vanadium redox flow battery for grid storage has required a new supply-side response.

Wave identified the future need for new vanadium supply some years ago, and has engaged with key strategic projects which can support this market need in a sustainable fashion.

Copper mines can range from customized heap-leaching to both small and large-scale electrowinning and electrorefining facilities. Wave International have a highly experienced team of engineers to take projects from Feasibility into full scale production.

Wave has a track record in developing Copper projects for its domestic and International clients. Our mining and processing experts can take Copper/Cobalt, VMS type massive mineralisation, Porphyry Copper/Gold and pure play Copper projects from the mine into saleable copper concentrate world-wide.
