Market --- Complex Ores containing precious metals (Gold, Silver, & Platinum Group Metals)
Native Ores(Free or metallic state)
Sulfide Ores(combined with sulfur)
Oxidized Ores(combined with O2)
Mixed Ores(oxidized & sulfide)
A base-metal ore that contains valuable amounts of 2 or more metals (i.e. copper, lead, and zinc) is termed a complex ore.
Copper
Lead
Zinc
Gold
Silver
Misc.

Precious Metals are intricately latticed on a sub-micron scale Encapsulated and “hidden” by interference elements. Using conventional metallurgy, only insignificant or minor
traces(1 – 2 %) of sub-micron precious metals are detected and obtained.
The economics make it infeasible for mining companies to explore and exploit complex precious metal ores.
Market Needs --- Precious Metals that are largely undetected & unrecoverable by conventional metallurgy
This target market is largely untapped
underdeveloped & undervalued.

Brilliant, Proprietary technology using RF Plasma torch. At 8,000oC, ore structure disintegrates and encapsulated Au,
Ag, etc. are freed up and condensed for collection. Almost 100% of the latent precious metals contained in the
ores can be extracted and recovered. Unfair Market Advantage (captive market w/no competitors). TPT owns & holds the key to this breakthrough technology.

The RF Plasma Process
Thermal plasma process that generates a high intensity (~0.5 – 1.2 kW/cm3) heat flux.
Ore concentrate is injected into the RFP reactor where it is heated by the plasma stream, vaporized and condensed in a controlled atmosphere.
Temperature range between 6,400oC and 14,000oC.
If the initial ore does not contain precious metals, using plasma will not transmute or increase the weight of the gold or silver. 100% material balance.
Heat without combustion and chemical reactions without contamination up to incredible temperatures.
High degree of densification, spheroidization and purity.
Green technology with no health or safety hazards.
Highly versatile & economical to implement.

Over the last several years, TPT has conducted assay tests of ore samples from over 46 mines in China. Several mines have exceedingly high gold and silver content .

Immediate availability
Information sensitivity
It is not known initially whether a particular complex ore would contain or yield significant amounts of “latent” PGM, gold or silver. It takes a number of assay tests of varying head ore samples to provide a reliable but approximate prediction of the precious metal composition in the complex ore.

Paving a way for mining companies to exploit new or existing assets for precious metal commodities to substantially increase their bottom-line earnings and shareholder value.
The capital investment for starting a RFP processing facility can be completely recouped in Year 2.. The ROI is exceptional, almost 40 times in 5 years, The earnings and investment return can be accelerated by adding RFP processing units.
RFP technology is brilliant, unique, state-of-the-art, and the only way to commercially unbind and extract precious metals from complex ores. It is a green technology with no harmful waste. It is economical and scalable.
Technology has already been validated by assays on over 46 complex ore mines in China in the last few years, demonstrating phenomenally high yield in precious metals for select complex ores.
There is an abundance of complex ores in the world. Target market is largely untapped or underdeveloped and undervalued as the latent precious metals are undetectable by conventional metallurgy. TPT owns and holds the key to it. Thus it is a captive market that is huge and rich.
