At EGOR R&D, Inc. (“EGOR”), we have assembled a group of highly experienced personnel to confront many of the pressing issues of the day … seeking to develop and prove breakthrough & disruptive technologies to solve these issues. Our team has decades of experience in:

  • Mineral mining and processing
  • Enhanced Gas & Oil Recovery (3 patents)
  • Hands-off Industrial Advanced Process Controls
  • Advanced Oil/Water Separation (6 patents)
  • Advanced Fluid/Solids Separation (6 patents)
  • Industrial Process Design & Re-design
  • Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Data Management
  • Systems Engineering & Architecture

Our initial focus when we formed EGOR in 2001 was to continue development of the enhanced gas & oil recovery and the advanced separation technologies based on prior 25 years of efforts.

 By 2005 we were approached to develop a solution for high efficiency separation of precious metals from mining ores.  We developed the batch technology to separate gold and platinum group metals from the ore, then by 2015 had expanded this to extraction of silver and silver compounds from the ore with an exciting disruptive technology. Since 2015 we have expanded this technology to extract other critical metals (mineral forms) from the ore, which includes rare earth minerals.

This ore processing technology is unique, using no chemicals to extract concentrates of precious metals, critical metals, and rare earths without the use of chemicals. We are currently developing sequential technologies to further divide and/or super-concentrate these concentrates without use of chemicals. Once the process is at the point of requiring chemicals to finish the processing, we will explore the use of non-toxic chemicals first and foremost (even knowing that the treated material will be a much lesser volume, thus less chemicals).

In recent years we have been approached to sell the mine ore processing technology to precious metal mining companies, but various portions of the technologies are just as applicable to rare earths/critical metals as they are to precious metals. We believe the impact on the rare earths and critical metals market and supply chain should take precedence for our nation’s sake.
