Critical Minerals

Minerals processing and extractive metallurgy: comminution, upgrading, hydrometallurgy, and pyrometallurgy, applied to hard rock, tailings and residue reprocessing, concentrate beneficiation, and battery material feeds.

The orebody is never fully known, and the impurity suite decides what is viable. A conventional study locks its assumptions early, returns one answer slowly, and must be reworked each time the picture changes.

Roebling builds the option space instead, and holds it on one basis from concept through feasibility. First-cut economics arrive in days, not months. The model stays live as additional test work data is introduced, allowing holistic refinement of the flowsheet.

Kimberly gordon

Critical minerals team lead

“Building the critical minerals supply chain is a massive, capital-intensive engineering challenge in which every project must prove its economic resilience early on. It's a game of small margins at massive scale—where a minor misstep in process flow design or supply chain planning compounds into millions down the line. I love helping teams de-risk the hard stuff early, so the economics actually hold up.”

Previously

A new basis for study work

Every credible feed, flowsheet, process condition, and site option is assessed in parallel in the concept phase, so the test-work budget is committed only to what survives screening.

Grade and recovery assumptions, impurity elements, and processing configuration are held within a single framework, so any change moves the mass balance, equipment sizing, and capital together.

Documentation prepared to support your Qualified Person's technical report, never to replace it.

One Partner, from Concept to Feasibility

R&D

FID

Concept (Scoping / PEA)

Go or no-go, and which options do we carry forward?

AACE Class 5

For teams screening options before committing capital.

Build and compare scenarios across the whole option space; identify prefeasibility targets.

Pre-feasibility (PFS)

Which configuration do we commit to, and at what budget?

AACE Class 4

For teams converging on one design.

Compare business cases and their sensitivities; the model refines as test work and piloting bring definition.

Feasibility (DFS)

Can we finance this, and what will it actually cost?

AACE Class 3

For teams heading into FID.

One configuration, carried on the same basis into the FID package, alongside the detailed engineering the stage demands.

Frequently Asked Questions about Roebling

We cannot afford a two-year bankable study. Where do you engage?

Earlier, where the leverage is. Scoping and prefeasibility are where flowsheets are chosen and test-work budgets committed, and where a single data point from a consultancy is least sufficient. Roebling gives you the option space and first-cut economics now, then carries the same basis forward as the project advances.

Does this replace our Qualified Person or the technical report?

No, and it is not designed to. The reporting codes put a person, not a platform, behind the stamped report. Roebling prepares the modeling and documentation that sit underneath your Qualified Person's work, so the report rests on a broader and more current basis than a single hand-built case.
