India's 24 Critical Minerals
— Identified in Real Time
Rare earths, platinum group metals, lithium, and battery minerals are the foundation of the energy transition. ρ-MATRIQS™ helps India find, identify, and recover them — before they are lost or exported unprocessed.
These Materials Cannot Be Left in the Ground
Critical minerals are often present in very low concentrations, mixed with gangue minerals that look identical. Traditional sampling and lab analysis is too slow and too coarse. ρ-MATRIQS™ reads every particle.
Six Categories of Critical Material
From rare earth ore sorting to tailings reprocessing — ρ-MATRIQS™ identifies and routes the minerals that matter most to India's energy and technology security.
Rare Earth Elements
Lanthanum, cerium, neodymium, praseodymium, dysprosium — identified directly in ore using laser chemistry and near-infrared scanning. Grade-by-grade ore sorting for rare earth concentrates.
Battery Metals from Ore
Lithium in spodumene and lepidolite, cobalt in laterite, nickel in sulphide ores — all identified in real time at the ore sorting stage, before expensive downstream processing.
Platinum Group Metals
Platinum, palladium, and rhodium in chrome ore and UG2 reef material. Sensor fusion identifies PGM-rich zones as ore moves across the sorting belt — before it is diluted in stockpiles.
Niobium & Tantalum
Separating columbite-tantalite (coltan) from waste rock using combined density and laser chemistry. Achieves separation accuracy that conventional gravity methods cannot match in fine-grained ores.
Recovery from Tailings
Many critical minerals are present in historic tailings at concentrations that were uneconomic to process previously. ρ-MATRIQS™ makes tailings reprocessing viable by identifying and concentrating these low-grade streams.
National Mission Alignment
Aligned with India's National Critical Minerals Mission, MoM PRISM 5.0, and the goal of reducing import dependence on strategic minerals. Every tonne recovered in India is a tonne not imported.
Every Tonne Recovered
Is a Compliance Record
India's critical mineral recovery programmes require verifiable, lot-level provenance data. ρ-MATRIQS™ generates these records automatically — from the moment material enters the sorting system.
- ✓PRISM 5.0 mineral audit trail — lot-level traceability, auto-generated
- ✓National Critical Minerals Mission — recoverable quantity per deposit documented
- ✓Full chain-of-custody — from tailings / ore body to certified refiner
- ✓CO₂ per tonne tracked — Panchamrit progress measurable in real time
- ✓Exportable data — PDF, CSV, API — for government and investor reporting
Recover What Was Previously Invisible
We can scan samples from your deposit or tailings facility and show you what critical mineral content has been going untapped. No cost. No commitment.
