Metafix Metal

Industrial gold recovery

We buy gold-bearing process chemistry, recover the gold on your site and refine it at our central facility. You get paid, with no equipment to buy or run.

Your plating chemistry holds gold you are not collecting

Hard-gold and immersion-gold (ENIG) lines in printed circuit board manufacturing leave dissolved gold in their process chemistry. Metafix Metal assays it, buys the chemistry that qualifies and recovers the gold for you.

Assay step in precious metals refining

Assay

We review the chemistry, its safety data and expected volume, then sample and assay it, so the gold content is known before anything moves.

Refine step in precious metals refining

Recover

Accepted chemistry is filtered on your site. The gold ends up in compact filters instead of your waste stream, and the filters ship to our central facility for extraction and refining.

Settle step in precious metals refining

Settle

Every lot is tracked under sealed custody. You receive a report of what was received, processed and recovered, and you are paid for the gold.

Why a managed service

Selling you equipment is not the goal. Recovering your gold is.

No equipment to buy

We supply the filtration and run the process. Your team keeps making boards.

Custody you can audit

Lot identifiers, sealed packaging and transfer records from your site to final settlement.

One partner, start to finish

Assay, on-site filtration, refining and payment come from a single team, with over 35 years of metal recovery behind it.

Where we start

We begin with PCB hard-gold and immersion-gold/ENIG chemistry. Gold-bearing streams from jewelry, semiconductor, aerospace and medical-device processes are evaluated one stream at a time before we commit. Not sure whether yours qualifies? Ask us.

One process for every material

Whatever the metal, the steps are the same, and every lot is tracked from intake to settlement.

01 Qualify

We review the material type, ownership, safety data and expected volume before anything moves.

02 Intake and sampling

Every lot is identified, weighed and sampled, so its value is established up front.

03 Processing

Chemistry is filtered on site when approved. Solid materials are collected, segregated and packaged.

04 Secure logistics

Lot identifiers, sealed packaging and transfer records follow the material at every step.

05 Refining

Material is matched to its original lot, then recovered and refined.

06 Settlement

You receive clear documentation of receipt, processing and final value, and you are paid for the metal recovered.
