Specialized intelligence for cold cake leaching.
ColdCake AI is the focused product that started it all — built to read lab reports, identify recovery drivers, and recommend operational changes for cold cake leach circuits.

What is cold cake leaching?
Cold cake leaching is a low-temperature hydrometallurgical step used to dissolve target metals from filter cakes, residues, and concentrates. Recovery depends on a tight interplay of mineralogy, reagent chemistry, particle structure, and time — small variations cascade into large operational outcomes.
Sulphide associations & impurity load
Reagent dosage & residence time
Recovery vs. cost vs. throughput
The challenges engineers face.
Process teams sit on enormous amounts of data — and almost no time to interpret it.
Lab data arrives unstructured, scattered across vendors and labs.
Mineral associations drive recovery, but XRD and assays don't always agree.
Engineers tune circuits in real time without a full picture of the trade-offs.
From lab report to recovery plan in minutes.
