well it's a way of extracting from high grade ores that doesn't require that many reagents so i count it as relatively low cost and a bit more eco friendly but with better reproducibility and recovery than classical methods
it's not so uncommon, really. you can find a lot of copper, nickel and iron rich soils where i live plus there's also bauxite (aluminum) and lots of chromites too and those are usually hard to process in some instruments so this is ideal for them at times
literal gold and metals mining 😅 I'm a geochemist
Ah ok. What new method did you present? Explainable in a few sentences?

Ah ok. But you need high grade ore which is less common.

Ah ok, I was more thinking about precious metals.
well when it's precious metals, there are already effective methods for those, otherwise this method is for common and industrial metals
