Outside-in force
Compression, impact, abrasion and steel grinding media—often with particle size as the primary target.
CoreBurst™ Technology
Fracturing rock from the inside out.
A patented CO₂-based mineral-processing platform designed to generate internal tensile fracture rather than relying exclusively on external compression, impact and abrasion.
Conventional grinding attacks rock where it is strongest.
Ball mills, rod mills and impact crushers apply force to the exterior of a particle. They reduce size, but can also create overgrinding, excessive fines and gangue entrainment.
Inside-out force
Internal tensile stress, grain-boundary access and CO₂ as a working fluid—with mineral exposure as the primary target.
The Mechanism
CO₂ becomes the working fluid for tensile fracture.
Inject
Prepared material enters a controlled pressure environment and is contacted with CO₂.
Saturate
CO₂ reaches accessible pores, microfractures and grain-boundary networks.
Release
A rapid pressure reduction generates tensile stress from inside the particle.
Recycle
The system is being engineered to capture, repressurize and reuse most of the working CO₂.
The Product That Matters
Liberation, not simply size reduction.
A particle can meet a plant’s size specification while still containing valuable minerals locked inside gangue. CoreBurst™ is evaluated according to the exposure and separability it creates—not particle size alone.
- More exposed target-mineral surface
- Cleaner valuable-mineral and gangue relationships
- Useful liberation at coarser particle sizes
- Reduced problematic ultra-fines potential
Development Path
From validated fracture physics to continuous processing.
Laboratory mechanism → feedstock validation → continuous-flow engineering → modular deployment.
