ZMI’s presentation outlines two proprietary technologies: ARGO, which aims to recover critical minerals from zinc leach residue, and VOLTA, designed to recycle lead-acid batteries with lower-temperature processing. ARGO testwork has reported recoveries of up to 99% silver, while further testing is underway ahead of a targeted pilot phase in early 2027; VOLTA is at commissioning stage for its pilot plant. The company says its Nyrstar cooperation agreement supports ARGO development and retains its intellectual property, but the excerpt does not provide commercial results.
