ZMI Completes Meclex Acquisition to Advance Sustainable Metals Recovery Technologies
Zinc of Ireland Limited (ASX: ZMI) has completed the acquisition of Meclex, securing ownership of two proprietary hydrometallurgical technologies, ARGO and VOLTA, designed to recover valuable metals from industrial waste and recycling streams. The technologies offer lower-temperature and lower-emission alternatives to conventional metal processing methods, addressing increasing environmental regulations, energy costs, and resource recovery challenges. The acquisition strengthens ZMI’s strategic focus on sustainable metals recovery while opening opportunities to extract critical minerals such as zinc, lead, silver, gallium, germanium, and indium from industrial residues.
ARGO is focused on recovering metals from zinc leach residues and is progressing through a structured testing program supported by industry partner Nyrstar. VOLTA targets lead-acid battery recycling, achieving lead recovery rates above 99% while reducing emissions and waste. The company has recommenced development programs for both technologies and is advancing pilot-scale activities in Europe. Supported by a AU$5.5 million capital raising, ZMI is well-funded to progress technology commercialisation while continuing exploration activities at its Kildare zinc-lead project in Ireland.
