About Rockburst
Building the mineral-processing platform for a more secure world.
Rockburst Technologies is a Vancouver-based deep-tech company developing CoreBurst™, a patented CO₂-powered platform for mineral liberation and material transformation.
Our Mission
Unlock more value from the world’s mineral resources while reducing the energy, water, consumables and carbon burden of processing them.
Why We Exist
Mineral processing has become strategic infrastructure.
Critical minerals underpin energy, transportation, advanced manufacturing, digital infrastructure and national defence. Yet declining ore grades and complex mineral associations make those resources increasingly difficult to recover.
Rockburst was founded on the belief that this challenge requires more than incrementally improving conventional grinding. It requires changing the physics of breakage.
Company Progress
Science established. Industry engaged. Scale-up underway.
Published science
The transcritical CO₂ fracture mechanism is documented in peer-reviewed research.
Industry validation
Paid programs have evaluated the platform across multiple feedstocks.
Advancing toward scale
Continuous-flow engineering and customer-site pilot planning are the next objectives.
Innovation Ecosystem
Supported by partners who believe industrial systems can be reinvented.
