THE CHALLENGE
RETHINKING MINERAL RECOVERY
DISA is revolutionizing mineral recovery with our patented High-Pressure Slurry Ablation (HPSA) technology—an innovative solution that upgrades critical minerals from mined ore and legacy waste.
Rising Demand.
Declining Grades.
Global demand for minerals—including critical and strategic materials—is accelerating as ore grades decline and deposits grow more complex, requiring more energy and capital to sustain output.
Energy-Intensive
Processing.
Comminution can consume up to 50% of a mine’s total energy use, making grinding one of the most expensive and infrastructure-heavy components of mineral production.
Value
Left Behind.
Traditional recovery methods leave significant quantities of minerals stranded in tailings, low-grade stockpiles, and legacy surface material.
Legacy Sites,
Unfinished Work.
Across the American West, thousands of abandoned uranium sites remain unremediated—posing an environmental liability while containing recoverable domestic mineral supply.

A NEW STANDARD
IN MINERAL RECOVERY
High-Pressure Slurry Ablation (HPSA) is DISA’s patented mineral liberation platform engineered to increase recovery, reduce energy intensity and unlock value from active ore bodies and legacy surface materials, modernizing how minerals are separated and concentrated.
HPSA IN ACTION
Patented alternative to legacy grinding.
HPSA selectively liberates minerals while reducing energy intensity and circuit cost.
HPSA IN ACTION
High-velocity slurry collisions.
Particle-to-particle impact drives early-stage liberation and improved recovery.
HPSA IN ACTION
Coarser liberation. Fewer fines.
Targeted mechanical energy reduces overgrinding and slimes generation.
HPSA IN ACTION
Optimized downstream performance.
Cleaner liberation improves flotation, leaching, and liberation efficiency.
HPSA IN ACTION
Modular, deployable platform.
Replaces energy-intensive infrastructure while maximizing recovery and lowering operating cost.
