Urban mining

Recovering the metals already above ground.

Majestic recovers precious and critical metals from end-of-life technology and equipment — sourcing, upgrading and working with our customers to return them to the global supply chains the world is racing to secure.

Destinations

Where the metal we recover goes to

Rocket against a clear blue sky, representing defence and aerospace

Defence and aerospace

Platinum group metals, copper and rare technical metals underpin sensors, avionics, propulsion and secure electronics. Supply security here isn’t commercial preference; it’s national policy.

Solar panels in a field, representing electrification and energy

Electrification and energy

Copper for grids, EVs and renewables. Battery materials for storage. The transition is a metals problem before it is an energy one.

Industrial robotic arm in a factory, representing advanced manufacturing

Advanced manufacturing

Catalysts, semiconductors, medical devices, industrial components: the precision end of the economy runs on precisely graded material.

Strategic priority

With many government-designated critical metals, recovering them domestically isn’t only commercially valuable. It’s strategically necessary.

Applications

The urban mine has many seams

Where the metal we source comes from.

Consumer & industrial electronics

From household devices and the servers coming out of AI data centres to cabling, motors and machinery from decommissioned industrial sites. Printed circuit boards carry gold, silver, palladium and copper at concentrations far beyond mined ore.

Catalytic converters

Our heritage stream. Platinum, palladium and rhodium recovered from end-of-life vehicles.

Battery production waste

Anodes, cathodes, black mass, copper and aluminium, as the first great battery wave reaches end of life this decade.

Solar

Silver and silicon from retired installations. A stream that is only just beginning.

Data centres & AI

Gold, silver, palladium and copper are what data centres are physically made of. Every expansion of compute is an expansion of metal demand.

Non-ferrous

Non-ferrous metals carry the current, resist corrosion, and keep the weight down — copper in cabling and motors, aluminium in frames and extrusions, zinc, brass, and nickel across fittings and castings.

Securing the critical metals tomorrow’s supply chains depend on.
