Investment thesis

CoTec pursues resource development through a model combining three capabilities: identifying differentiated processing and recycling technologies suited for commercial-scale deployment; securing access to mineral resources, tailings, industrial waste and recycled feedstock; and applying commercial, technical and operating expertise to advance projects from evaluation through engineering, financing and production. The approach targets opportunities outside the traditional mining model, including reclamation projects, brownfield infrastructure, recycling platforms and historical waste streams. CoTec aims to build a portfolio of scalable strategic-material businesses where its technology, ownership position or commercial rights create a competitive advantage, with current exposure to rare earth magnets, iron and copper across North America and internationally.
